This is a great lesson for your first lesson back in the New Year!
Find out what your students did for Christmas and New Year. There's a conversation, followed by practice exercises.
The lesson rounds off with a survey. Your students can find out what their classmates did. It's good fluency practice and an excellent review of the Past Simple.
This lesson is for pre-intermediate level students. However, it's easy to make the lesson easier. You can pre-teach more vocabulary, and give additional support for the survey questions.
With Christmas coming up, have your students chosen their presents? Can they talk about some good/bad presents they've received? This worksheet will give them the chance!
There are three short readings followed by some practice exercises looking at 'give to' and 'get from'. Students can then conduct a class survey finding out presents their classmates gave (or got).
This worksheet is written for lower-level learners. Although it's good for Christmas, you can use this handout at any time of year!
