A Day in the Life – ESL Writing Activity
This engaging ESL writing activity encourages A1-A2 students to practice vocabulary related to habits, routines, and everyday activities by imagining a typical day for a celebrity! The worksheet features hand-drawn portraits of famous figures on the left and 24 verb phrases (e.g., “take a nap,” “make a phone call,” “go to the gym”) on the right.
Ways to Play:
🔹 Who’s the Celebrity? – Students write a short narrative using a set number of vocabulary words from the worksheet. Once completed, the class guesses which celebrity they’re describing!
🔹 Best Daily Routine – Students work individually or in small groups to write a routine for the same celebrity. Then, they share their writing, vote on the most creative or realistic version, or combine ideas into one final routine.
🔹 Collaborative Storytelling – One student starts by writing the first sentence of the celebrity’s routine. Each student adds a new sentence using a different verb phrase. The story grows until all phrases are used!
🔹 Routine Swap – After writing about a celebrity’s day, students exchange their texts and revise each other’s work for clarity and accuracy, reinforcing what they’ve learned through peer feedback.
This printable and online-friendly PDF is a fun way to develop vocabulary, creativity, and writing skills while making routines and daily activities more relatable!
