Error correction
Similar to 1 above, but write sentences with incorrect grammar. Again, use your students names,
or perhaps your own.
Ss must first correct the grammar, and then make the sentences true if the facts are incorrect.
GOOD FOR: tenses, adjectives or adverbs, articles, comparatives, modal verbs.
Ask students to work in groups of three. They must write a summary of the grammar that they have
learnt for a student who is absent. They can include examples from the book or the teacher, or their
own. If the students are a very low level, they could do this in their own language.
GOOD FOR: any grammar point in fact anything at all that arose in the particular class!
Quiz
Write a few general knowledge questions including the grammar. You could make all the
questions based on the same theme (history, music etc) or a mixture.
Divide the class into teams and give them the quiz, either on a piece of paper or written on the
board. Students then make similar quizzes for each other.
GOOD FOR: passive voice, comparative and superlative, past tense, there is/are, question forms
Answers answers
Send a student out of the room. Write a question on the board using the target grammar. Ask
remaining students to think of an answer to the question.
Example: Teacher writes on the board: What did you do last night? Possible answers: I watched
TV. I went to the disco. I stayed at home. I did nothing.
Rub the question off the board. Tell the student to come back into the room. He or she must call
on a minimum of five other students in the class to give their answers.
He or she then guesses the question. If the question is correct, the student can sit down and
another student leaves the room. If the question is incorrect, the student must ask five other
people for their answers before trying again.
GOOD FOR: question forms, past and present simple, present perfect, present and past continuous
