Prove it! Back from Vacation Activity
A fun and easy back from vacation activity where students use specific time expressions to prove something about their vacation.
How to use this activity
- Put students in small teams or let them play individually. Fill out the team name column in the bottom right.
- Display the game board for everyone to see.
- Choose a card from the middle.
- Students take turns coming up with sentences that prove the information on the card to be true. Each sentence must include one of the time expressions on the board.
- If the sentence is grammatically correct and the time word or expression has been used correctly, they get a point. Check the box next to the time word or expression. It can no longer be used for this round.
- Once all the boxes have been checked, uncheck them and move onto a new card.
- Once all the cards have been used, count up the points. The student or team with the most points wins.

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.
