Activity 2a Work in groups. Play “Time”. 15 min

Objective: to revise saying the time

STEP1: Prepare cards with clocks with different times and the same amount of cards with the sentences corresponding to these pictures. For example, if you have 20 pupils you should prepare 10 cards with the clocks and 10 cards with the sentences.

Divide the class into two groups. Group A pupils will get cards with clocks depicting 6.00, 6.30, 7.00, 7.30, 8.00, 8.30, 9.00, 10.30, 11.00, 11.30. Group B will have cards with the sentences: “it’s six o’clock”, “it’s six thirty”, “it’s seven o’clock”, “it’s seven thirty”, “it’s eight o’clock”, “it’s eight thirty”, “it’s nine o’clock”, “it’s ten thirty”, “it’s eleven o’clock”, “it’s eleven thirty”.

STEP 2: Allocate the cards. Ask the pupils of each group to look at their paper cards. Ask them not to show their cards to each other.

Explain that pupils must go round the class and find their partners. The pupils with the sentences must say their sentence and find a partner. When they find their partners, they should stand together.

STEP 3: Check the pairs. When one pair shows a card and says their sentence, ask all the pupils “is it correct?”

STEP 4: Ask the pairs to make sentences to their time, e.g. “it’s six thirty. it’s time to get up.”
