Habits and routines: a flip book

By having students draw a hint next

to each day of the week, this
weekly routine flip book can
effectively become the basis for a
speaking activity in which students
make guesses about their
classmates’ routines and then
check them by reading the
sentences inside. A good way to
practise the present simple in the
affirmative, negative and
interrogative, adverbs of frequency
and everyday life actions.

1. The students make their own flip book

first:

2. For each day of the week, the students

write two or three sentences using adverbs
of frequency or time expressions. A few of
them could be false. On each flap they also
draw a picture that represents each of the
actions.

3. In pairs or teams, the students take turns

guessing other classmates’ routines by
looking at the pictures and then checking
their answers inside. They may also be
encouraged to ask a few questions to get
more specific information (“How often…?”,
“Where do you usually…?”, “What time do
you…?”, and so on), which will help them find
the routines that are not true.
