Present Simple tense for daily routines
Lower elementary - G1 level

Description

In this lesson, Ss learn about the present simple tense for describing their daily routines/activities through MPF technique based on a reading text a day in a life. The lesson starts with an open discussion asking "What do you do when you wake up in the morning?" Encourage students to share their answers. This is followed by flashcards presenting daily activities, e.g: eating breakfast, have a shower, catch the bus, or simple sentences about daily routine. After that, Ss listen for gist to point the correct picture or T mimes and Ss say the action, Ss will read to answer comprehension questions like; what time does Stella wake up?, What does she do at 9 pm?, etc. Then, Ss will do a controlled practice as they've to listen to a song and match up the pictures and they could play some online games as a gamification learning. Later, Ss are asked to create Tom's daily routine using present simple tense. Finally, as a communicative speaking activity or freer practice Ss will draw their random facts about themselves in 4-6 squares or flow chart and switch it with partners as they will guess their daily routines.
