    7 Perfect Activities for Teaching the Present Perfect

    http://busyteacher.org/imag…/present-perfect-poster-full.jpg
    1 Great Accomplishments
    What are some of the things your Ss have already accomplished at this time in their lives? Ss
    share 2-3 things they have done that they are most proud of (in front of the class). The rest of
    the class asks questions.
    2 Have You Ever
    Each S writes 5 sentences stating something he/she did in the past at a specific time, using the
    Simple Past & the time of the event. Example: "I walked my dog yesterday. Ss exchange
    papers & rewrite those sentences using the Present Perfect + "before", omitting the time
    marker. "Hyun has walked his dog before."
    3 How Many Times Since
    How often do your Ss do daily activities like brushing their teeth, changing their clothes and
    eating a meal? Review how to use "since", then ask Ss now many times they have done those
    since yesterday, last week, last month etc.
    4 Great Ambitions
    What do your Ss want to do that they have not done yet? Review with your class the proper
    use of the adverb "yet" and then ask them to share with a partner 3 things they have not done
    yet that they would like to do.
    5 Most Deprived
    Arrange chairs facing into a circle for all but 1 of vour Ss. S1 stands in the middle & announces
    something he's never done (Pres. Perf). Anyone in the circle who has done that activity gets
    out of his seat & races to find a new seat. S1 tries to sit in one of the empty seats as well. The
    person left standing after everyone else is sitting takes the next turn in the middle of the circle.
    6 Bucket Lists
    Brainstorm every activity you have done or would like to do. Explain the term "bucket list",
    encourage Ss to think about what they would include on theirs. Ss take turns asking if their
    classmates have done each of these activities. Ss start with "have you ever" & answer with the
    Pres. Perf. Encourage Ss to share any surprising answers with the class after their discussion
    time is complete.
    7 Since or for?
    "Since" & "for" are often used with the Present Perfect to express a length of time a person has
    done a particular activity. Use "since" when offering a specific time and "for" for an amount of
    time. Review & have groups of 3-4 practice using since & for with the present perfect.7 Perfect
