- MOST DEPRIVED
Arrange chairs facing into a circle for all but 1 of your students. Student 1 stand in the middle and announce something he has never done (present perfect). Anyone in the circle who has done that activity gets out of his seat and races to find a new seat. Student 1 tires 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
- BUCKET LISTS
Brainstorm every activity you have done or would like to do. Explain the term “bucket list”, encourage students to think about what they would include on theirs. Students take turns asking if their classmates have done each of these activities. Students start with “have you ever” and answer with the Present Perfect. Encourage students to share any surprising answers with the class after their discussion time is complete.
- SINCE OR FOR
Since and 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 and have groups of 3-4 practice using since & for with the present perfect.
