This is the activity that I created! Students have to describe what Helen and John, respectively, did yesterday. Students are free to use whatever verbs they want as long as they are suitable for the images. Verbs must be in simple past tense. The goal for this activity is not only to form the past tense of the verbs, but also to combine the sentences so that they have a flow and create a story.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Watch carefully the images. Then write one sentence for each of them describing what Helen did yesterday. Pay attention because the verbs you will use should be in the past tense. Also, make your answers look like a short story, rather than isolated sentences. Use your imagination.
Then do the same thing with John.

Students watch the video and write their answers on magnetic drawing boards so as they receive immediate feedback from their teacher. The main purpose of this activity is to practise the Simple Past tense in an interesting and attractive way that is suitable for visual-auditory leaning styles and linguistic intelligence. Finding an appropriate video for the A1+ learners was a bit difficult since they will definitely have unknown words. However, it is a great opportunity to understand meaning in context which is, no doubt, an extremely useful skill and strategy.
