Lesson 10: “Daily routines + present simple 1st and 3rd person”

Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will have learnt and/or revised daily routines and the
present simple (1st and 3rd person singular).

Materials:

1. PPT 1 – Daily routines + memory game

2. WS1 – Daily routines exercise
3. PPT 2 – Daily routines I and he/she
4. WS 2 – Present simple Peter’s Day
5. WS 3 – writing and speaking daily routines

Introduction – Ice-breaker – How many daily routines do you know? (5 minutes)

Ask Ss how many daily routines they know and write them on the board. Ask students to put them
in order and if they happen in the morning, afternoon or evening.

Activity 1- PPT 1 – Vocabulary and speaking Daily routines + memory game (10 minutes)

Open PPT 1 and ask students to repeat and mime each activity. Then play a memory game and
check how many of these students remember.

Activity 2 - WS1 – Vocabulary - Daily routines exercise (5 minutes)

To consolidate previous vocab, Ss do a matching exercise. Ask Ss to do it individually or in pairs.

Activity 3 - PPT 2 – Grammar - Daily routines I and he/she (10/15 minutes)

Before you open this PPT, explain the difference between the verbs after I (1st person singular) and
the verbs after He/she (3rd person singular). Explain that an s is usually added after the verb with
some exceptions (e.g., watches, washes, etc.). Use different makers to make the difference clear.
Open the PPT and ask students to finish the sentence adding morning, afternoon or evening.

Activity 4 - WS 2 – Grammar - Present simple Peter’s Day (5/10 minutes)

Ask students to complete, alone or in pairs, Peter’s Daily Routine where they have to fill in the gaps
with the third person of each verb in brackets. Then ask them to check in pairs.

Activity 5 - WS 3 – Writing and Speaking daily routines (10 minutes)

Ask students to write a list of the daily activities they remember. Tell them to look at the pictures if
they run out of ideas (e.g., I wake up in the morning). The student who remembers more activities
wins the game! Then ask students to swap the sheets and read each other’s list out loud (e.g., she
brushes her hair in the morning).

Extra speaking mime game

Ask students to play a mime game. One student stands up and mimes one of the daily routines.
Other students need to guess by saying a correct sentence (e.g. He brushes his teeth in the morning).
