Activities for Teaching the Future Progressive (PART I)


  1. FUTURE CHANCE

Write several future times on small slips of paper and put them in a hat. Have students draw a time from the hat and then tell what they will be doing at that time.

  1. DAILY HABITS

Have your students write down what they do throughout a typical day and the times that they do it. Then, have them share with a partner what they will be doing tomorrow at several time during the day using the future progressive.

  1. WEATHER THROUGH THE YEAR

In groups of 3 or 4, students describe what the weather will be doing in each season of the year using the future progressive. (It will be snowing. It will be raining, etc). Students describe the weather in their home countries through each season of the year. Students use the future progressive or the simple future as appropriate.

  1. KEEP GOING

What are your students doing now that they will still be doing tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? Have each students write a sentence for each time and then share their answers with a partner.
