Activities for Teaching the Simple Future (PART I)


  1. Dreams of Someday

Whether your students are planners or prefer to fly by the seat of their pants, writing a 5 year plan can be beneficial in many ways. Explain the concept & give them time to think about where they will be in 5 years & how they will get there. Finally, have your students share their plan with the class.

  1. Situational Struggles

Brainstorm with your class situations in which making a decision might be difficult. Then, have students choose one situation and write a paragraph detailing how they will handle the situation.

  1. Homecoming

If your students are studying English in a country they don’t call home, it may be quite a long time till they are able to return to their friends and families. Have each person in your class list at least ten things they will do when they finally return to their home country.

  1. A Fluent Future

Your students are studying English for a reason. Have pairs of students ask their partners what they will do once they are fluent in English. Then, have each person share his partner’s answer with the rest of the class.
