Everyone will have filled in the verbs column of their worksheet from the previous activity.
Do the “ What did you do yesterday? Survey” worksheet. Continue until off of the cards have been removed from the board. If correct, that student can come up to the board and remove the next card (while everyone else closes their eyes), say “Open your eyes!” and select the first student who puts their hand up. Then shout “Open your eyes!” and ask the first student who puts their hand up to say what the missing verb is. This sheet will be used in the next stage of the lesson.įinally, with all of the cards and words on the board, point at a card randomly and get everyone to shout out the word. On each line, get everyone to copy 12 verbs in the past form from the board (e.g. Next, give out the “ What did you do yesterday? Survey” worksheet. Go through all the cards, at a brisk pace so no one gets bored. Chorus the word 3 times and then move onto the next card. Start by touching one card and elicit or teach the verb with the “ed” ending and write the word under the card. 
Your students will probably know some of the verbs from previous lessons and other words they can now learn.
#Everyone has a story verb full
Your board should now be full of flashcards. Then get each student to pick a flashcard of something they did yesterday and also stick to the board – if you have a small class, get students to choose more cards – try and aim for about 10-15 cards and make sure the cards for the song vocab have been selected. Start off by saying, “Yesterday, I …” and select a flashcard and stick it to the board. Spread the flashcards out, face up, on the floor or a table and get everyone to gather round. Make sure you include the flashcards for the verbs in the song. You can select from our actions flashcards, daily routines flashcards, exercises flashcards and sports flashcards. Before class, print off as many flashcards as you can for regular verbs.
Practice saying past tense regular verbs. Underline “Yesterday” and write “ed” onto the end of the verbs (e.g. When you have 3 or 4 pictures on the board take a different colored marker pen/chalk. As you are drawing the pictures get students to shout out what they think each one is and write the simple tense form under each picture (watch TV). 
Make sure they are regular verb activities and try and use some from the song. watched TV, kicked a ball, played a video game, etc. Then draw a few things which you (may or may not) did yesterday, e.g. Look like you are thinking and say to yourself “Hmm.
Teach vocab for verbs and the regular past tense form. It’s a really fun game and you can play this a few times. As students make mistakes they have to sit out of the game until there is only one left, who is the winner. Everyone has to listen carefully and jump into the correct position according to the day the teacher shouts:Īs you do this, try and trick people by saying the same day twice and go at different speeds. Next, you are going to do the same thing, but the teacher is going to say the days randomly. Keep going, getting faster and faster until it gets too quick to keep up. Then get everyone jumping, backwards and forwards as everybody shouts together “yesterday – today – tomorrow – today – yesterday – today – tomorrow – today – etc.”. Then jump one step forward, in front of the rope and shout “tomorrow”. Jump one step forward onto the rope and shout “today”. Now demonstrate: jump one step back and shout “yesterday”. Get all the students to stand on the rope, facing you. Lay the rope on the floor and stand facing the rope, so it is horizontal to you. You’ll need a length of rope, long enough to lay along the length of your classroom. Then point to the days before and after today’s date and teach “yesterday” and “tomorrow”. Next, point at today’s date on the calendar and ask, “What day is this?”. You can also ask students to show you on the calendar when their birthdays are, Christmas and other holidays. If you have already taught days of the week and months, point to different days and months and ask what they are. Take a calendar and sit down with your students looking at it … it won’t be long before everyone takes an interest in what you are doing. The lesson is based around what your students did yesterday so we will begin with three important time words. Teach “today”, “yesterday” and “tomorrow”. This is a great song for practicing using the past simple tense with some common verbs. Using the “Yesterday was a Great Day! (Past Regular Verbs)” song in class
