Photocopy Side A of the page to provide oral practice in the target structure, and Side B to provide written follow up. The Teaching Notes on the following pages give you prompt questions to generate the correct structure for each tense, and also example conversations and answers. Pictures of English Tenses for Young Learners concentrates on providing practice in the selection and use of 5 principle tenses. Each of these 5 tenses is consistently linked with a colour. Present Simple (Dark Blue) & Present Continuous (Light Blue). Past Simple (Brown) ... Autumn leaves ? Burnt Toast? Present Perfect (Green) like a peppermint the taste stays after the sweet has gone ... Future (Yellow) a nice bright sunny future for everyone! Use these colours consistently so students quickly become familiar with them. The names of the characters in the picture drills, reinforce this association. Students now have a right hemisphere, colour based, visual system for identifying tenses.
It is easy to make a colour choice between, say, Present Simple and Present Continuous. Is it Dark Blue or Light Blue? The teacher can correct by simply holding up the appropriate coloured pen and the colour prompts the student into self correction.

Last year I painted this picture in Japan. Tomorrow Im going to paint my dog. I paint lots of pictures every year. Im painting my cat at the moment.
TEACHING NOTES A
Ive painted hundreds of pictures.

Unit 1 The BIG PICTURE This introduces the ve principle tenses. It may be that students will not be using all of the tenses actively but a passive knowledge is vital. (Its like seeing the picture on the outside of the jigsaw puzzle box before you start tting individual pieces together! ) The conversation with their ll in the blanks space introduces learners to the basics of the tenses and also to the colour families. Missing lines. Yes. I play every Saturday. Im playing with my sister Lotty Light Blue. Yes. In June I played in a big competition. Im going to play tennis. Yes. Ive played in many different countries.
BRAIN-friendly tip: Introduce Colour family idea with coloured pens/pencils enough for students to share. (Also have coloured sweets as an incentive! Smarties are very good).
Coloured pens/pencils for students to pass around to do their own colour coding will be very useful.
Unit 2 To be and to have Present Simple (Dark Blue). Practice with 2 key verbs. Exercise Exercise Exercise Exercise 1. 2. 3. 4. am are is are are have has have have have you / Are are / Is is / Are are / Are are does / Do do / Do do / Do do Dark Blue

Unit 4 My day (Present Simple) (Dark Blue) Tell the story (or elicit it from students). Use it as the basis for Does he...? What time does he...? Where/How does he... questions. Students can practice in pairs. When this pattern (and the vocabulary) is well established, one student (or one partner in the pair) becomes David and the other asks Do you...? What time do you...? Where/How do you...? questions based on the pictures. When that is established, move to real life question and answer practice. Exercise 1 On school days David Dark Blue wakes up at 6.30. He has a wash. After that he gets dressed, and at 7.30 he has breakfast. He usually has cornakes and bread and tea. He goes to school by bike and arrives at school at 8.45.
