Conditional Clauses Speaking Activities For Preschoolers

Ask a student, a volunteer hopefully, to leave the room. While that person is out of the room you and the rest of the class decide on something very unusual that could have happened while they were out of the room. A good example is two students get married, the OHP explodes, basically whatever the students can suggest. Then, the person who has left the room comes back in and asks each student in turn only one question and the full question is 'What would you have done if this had happened?' And each student in turn answers in a full sentence for example, 'If this had happened, I would have bought some flowers'. Now, they mustn't mention the names of anyone involved because at the end the student who is guessing has to work out what happened to whom and, if they can't, you can go round again with new answers. [As this is for speaking practice, the students should use the contracted form for the conditional grammar - 'If this'd happened, I'd 've bought some flowers.'

For more speaking activities that help practice grammar see this devoted to using I’d rather / I’d prefer / It’s time or this one about same way question tags. Personal Experience This is a very straightforward activity which focuses on the third conditional structure but at the same time allows some creativity.

Introduction Reported speech is a very rich grammar area to teach because: • It can involve considerable manipulation of form. • It’s a very easy piece of grammar to locate and exploit with texts.

The activities here are divided into different kinds of drill, ways of exploiting texts and analysis. Activity: Basic substitution At it’s most basic, you can simply read out a sentence and ask the students to rephrase it beginning with He said /She said For example: • T: I don’t like it. • Ss: He said he didn’t like it. • T: I hate it.

• Ss: He said he hated it. This can be made a little more interesting in the following ways: Activity: Chain reports Version 1 The following activity is a variation of the well-known 'broken telephone'. Whisper a sentence in English to a student. That student then whispers it to another and so on until the last student has to say aloud what was said originally. Version 2 If the above seems too easy, ask students to alternate reported speech/direct speech. If they hear it in reported speech they put it back to direct speech and vice versa.

For example: • T: I like it. • S1: He said he liked it. • S2: I like it. • S3 Activity: I didn't get that. What did she say? This is a quick question drill.

• S2: He said he had come by car. Activity: Mingle Prepare a series of cards/slips of paper, each with a different sentence. Here are some examples. We met at last year’s party. Create enough cards so that each student has one. You can repeat the same sentences on other cards.

Explain that you want the students to role-play the following situation. They are all at a very formal cocktail party.

Everybody must circulate and talk to each other. The trick is they must say what is on their card and as little else as possible.
