Lesson 6: Hobbies & Daily Activities

I had several chits with names of activities on them [playing the piano; playing tennis; painting, etc]. At the start of the class, each student picked a chit and acted out their activity, with the others having to guess the activity. This is a good warm-up and also gives you an idea of where they stand in terms of vocabulary.

After the activity, we discussed vocabulary from the vocabulary worksheets I handed out:

I made a short exercise about household chores, assuming they make a part of daily activities. The kids had to write the number of the relevant picture in the blanks:

The next exercise was fun: together, we read a conversation between three friends discussing week-end plans, each student acting as one of the friends. Then they had five minutes to draw and colour in the boxes below what was happening at specific times and places. As the friends kept changing plans during the conversation, it proved to be somewhat challenging for the students.

Ending with Listening Exercises, we listened to two audios from Randall's ESL Listening Lab- Night-life and Weekly Activities

Their homework for the day was a short Revision Exercise with fill-in-the-blank sentences to test their memory of vocabulary from all the previous classes (related to Food and Drink, Character traits, Cultures and Family)
