How to use this present continuous question activity

Display the activity and set a time limit.

Choose one of the cards at random and tell your students they must write 3 questions matching the three responses found underneath the theme using the present continuous. Once time is up, students share their questions. Each grammatically correct question earns a point. You can give more points for original or unique questions. Make sure the questions relate to the theme!

For example: The sea – Why are you carrying an umbrella? The weather is fantastic! / Are you leaving? I thought you liked the beach! / Are you enrolling for swimming lessons, too?

Description

This activity is designed to encourage your students to ask questions… with a twist! They are forced to use complex structures to ask a grammatically correct question in English. You can use it as a warm-up or an end-of-lesson activity when discussing or reviewing the present continuous tense or practicing questions.

Oh and just like our other Jukeboxes, it can be used online and offline for groups or one-on-one lessons!

As a teacher of ESL and French as a foreign language for several years, I have had the opportunity to work in several countries and with a wide variety of students. Now my job got even better: I get to help make your lessons all pretty and fun! Rather cool, I'd say.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
