Me neither! Practice 6 Prepositions of Time in Pairs

Practice prepositions of time while speaking in pairs!

Looking for an interactive way to help your A1 students discover or your A2 students master and practice prepositions of time? This fun and engaging speaking activity is perfect for reinforcing the correct use of in, on, at, after, before, and until in everyday conversations. Designed to boost fluency and confidence, this activity makes learning prepositions of time both enjoyable and memorable!

How It Works:

Students work in pairs or small groups to practice prepositions of time in context. One student starts by reading a sentence, such as:
🕒 “Jack was born in 1991. What about you?”
The other student responds using the correct preposition and a personal answer:
✔ “Actually, I was born in 2003.”
✔ “Me too!”

This format encourages natural conversation while reinforcing grammar in a meaningful way.

Variations to Boost Engagement:

🔎 Truth or Lie Challenge: Students answer the question truthfully or with a lie. The asker must guess if the response is true or false, earning a point for each correct guess!
⏳ Speed Round: Set a time limit and challenge students to respond to as many of the statements as possible, either in pairs or on a sheet of paper.
