How to play ... Teacher Says
This is basically the game Simon Says but using the words "Teacher says" instead. The teacher tells the students to do an action and they do ask asked (e.g. "Teacher says ... jump 3 times"). The teacher keeps on giving instructions with different actions using "Teacher says ...". At some point the teacher gives a command without using the phrase "Teacher says" (e.g. "Hop 5 times") and the students mustn't do that action - they have to stay still. Any students that do the action have to sit out for the rest of the game. The last student standing is the winner.

Start by modeling the activity. Get a volunteer to help you. Start running on the spot and have your volunteer say "What are you doing?" and reply "I am running!". Then start doing a cooking action and have the student ask again "What are you doing?". Reply "I am cooking!". Continue this with some verbs.

Next, pair up your students. Have one doing all of the actions and the other asking "What are you doing?". Once finished, students swap roles.

Start by teaching the following structures on the board:

a)    I am running (draw a stick man / woman running and write your name under the picture).

b)    He is running (draw a stick man running).

c)    She is running (draw a stick woman running).

d)    They are running (draw some stick people running).

Chorus the sentences. Then ask students to come up to the board and draw stick men doing other actions (e.g. "She is drawing", "They are sleeping", "He is swimming", etc.).

This is a fun video activity to practise using the present continuous (present progressive) tense. The video shows Mr. Bean doing various activities. Learners must watch the video and describe the actions Mr. Bean is doing when the music stops. There are questions on the screen that prompt students to answer at the right time. This may be done as a speaking activity or as writing practice using the worksheet.
