Present Continuous Games for Elementary English Language Learners

 This resource is found here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Present-Continuous-for-Elementary-ESL-4403402

Use the Printable games to reinforce the present continuous tense in a dynamic way. Students can repeatedly use the present continuous reinforcing their understanding. Many games involve speaking, listening, and interacting with others, which helps ELLs practice the present continuous in a communicative way. Write your english lesson plan including these games.

 This is a classic Bingo game that comes with 15 cards for the students to listen carefully to the sentences describing ongoing actions in the present continuous tense such as "She is jumping,".  They will have to recognize the tense when spoken. To mark their Bingo cards correctly, students need to identify the correct picture. There is a teacher’s mat for you place the calling cards as you say the tense sentence. You can also use this game for other tenses since it is in the base form of the verb.

This Domino game combines pictures and words. This  game appeals to both visual and linguistic learners. As an activity, have your students practice the action-related vocabulary (e.g., "running," "eating," "dancing") as they match the picture with the correct word.

Grab a die and give it the players to play the board game. They roll a dice to determine how many spaces to move forward.  There are four challenge cards (each with a corresponding color on the path) where students have to answer a question "What are you doing?"—The player answers, "I am dancing". Each player chooses a game piece to move along the board.  I used fun foam pieces that I had left behind. The goal is to reach the end of the board first and get the most points. On my example: I landed on a dark blue space, answered correctly and won 4 points and got the corresponding token.

Letter tiles work well for spelling and sentence construction skill.  Use the sets of letter tiles with enough letters to form words and then write sentences later on their notebook. Use any of the cards from any of the games with the base verbs written on them to aid in spelling.

The matching picture and word mat is an activity useful for visual learners and younger students.  they take turns selecting a word and then finding the corresponding picture that matches the action in the picture.  Once they find a match, they can place the word and say a sentence in the present continuous reinforcing their speaking skills. Use this game with any other tense later on.

Solve the puzzle set as you scatter the pieces on a table or the floor. Make sure that the pieces are mixed up so that students need to think carefully about how to match them. This can be done individually or in small groups to match the verb to the picture in the present continuous tense.

Print and use the interactive, visual, and flexible Can as an Ability small cards.  These supportive cards help ELLs to make connections between visuals and vocabulary, improving recall.

Students can work together in pairs or small groups, helping each other use new vocabulary as they sort the cards into what they can or can’t do. Learners use critical thinking to complete the activity. Perfect for making sure that students understand the use of can and can't for ability.

Play Bingo! Hand in the bingo grid to the students and place the small cards on the board, table, etc. for them to select 9 cards to write what they can actually do. Then, lift all the cards and start calling the verbs.

Repeated exposure to vocabulary using the card to reinforce writing. ELLs benefit from the repetition that cards facilitate. Have the stduents pick cards and write a sentence, a question or any other grammar structure that you suggest.

Use the cards for making contrasting sentences. Model your example. Take a look!

Playing with the small cards will encourage active participation from students. Introduce this matching game. Cut the word from each card and have the students in groups collaborate to put the verb card to a verb word together. Matching activities can quickly show if a student has understood the concept or needs further practice.

Try more spelling using the cards. Grab an egg holder from the grocery store. Cut the word into letters and place them into each egg space. Players will pick up the letters and write the word under each small card.
