Present and past are mixed, and some require the pronoun, some the verb to be completed. 3: 2 quizzes - this sheet should be cut in half so that pupils’ answers are not influenced by the other quiz.

These activities are intended to lead into a larger project on giving a presentation. The idea is that pupils will choose a controversial issue to then use their presentation skills to prepare a talk for the class. Start with the starter picture projected on the board or as a handout. Use the phrase and image to push pupils to give their opinion and back it up. Break pupils into small groups and hand out the list of controversial statements. Have them discuss each. Get pupils to brainstorm a big list of controversial issues on the board which might make good presentation topics. Instruct pupils to choose one for which they must prepare a presentation. This may be done as homework or if presentation skills have been an ongoing topic, it could be blended into class preparation.

Presentation which prompts pupils to think about and discuss how much sleep they get and whether it’s enough. It can be a good idea to start this lesson by asking pupils to write on the board the number of hours they got. You can prepare before class a big line with 1 at one end and 12 at the other. Ask pupils to put their number along the line. Discuss the results without singling out anyone. Handout with the same slides if you want them to follow along. Silly pictures to end a more serious class discussion on sleep habits, where pupils must answer 2 questions about each pictures - where and why!

This works best as a starter to a class of improv games. It provides a bit more structure, allowing kids to ease into it and be a bit freer in other improv theatre games! This works best if you can project it on the wall. Make sure you have the teacher handout so that you can see in advance how many people are needed for each sketch. Get the right number of volunteers for each before showing the card. (Smiley faces indicate how many people!)
