Before the lesson:
Copy the worksheets.

Stage 1 – 15 minutes
1. Put the class in groups of three or four and hand out the picture worksheet. There are 15 numbered
pictures.
2. Now tell the class that they are going to get a bit more information about you.
3. Use the list of sentences on the second worksheet but make it correct for you – lie if you like. The task is
to call out the number of the picture that matches what you say at the end of each one. The first, for
example, is number 14.
4. Now you can go through the pictures to see if they can remember what each picture represents – use the
–ing form to describe it and drill the pronunciation as you go along.

Stage 2 – 15 minutes
1. This stage involves them correcting the sentences to make them right for them. See the examples at the
start of the worksheet. Go through the examples on the board, explaining how to change the sentences
by deleting and inserting words. Note that the –ing form remains at all times.
2. The class do this stage individually while you circulate, monitor and help.

Stage 3 – 15 minutes
1. Once they have finished and you have checked the answers with most of them, they now have to stand up
and circulate to ‘find someone who ...’
2. You must demonstrate this and provide the language of “Do you like …?”, “What do you hate?” etc. They
need to find someone who likes the same things that they do and dislikes the same things etc. For
example, they ask, “Do you like cooking” and if the answer is yes (including love cooking) for both of them,
they can tick that sentence and move on. Demonstrate the activity with a couple of students and then let
them run.

3. At the end, have a round up to check the use of the –s on the 3 person. For example, “I like camping and
Alexandra loves camping so we both like it.”

Stage 4 – the miming game – 15 minutes


1. Divide the class into two teams.
2. Demonstrate miming one of the activities. The class need to call out in a whole sentence when they get
the activity, e.g., you mime ‘horse riding’ and they call out ‘She/he likes horse riding!’ or ‘You love horse
riding!’ The teams get no points for simply shouting ‘horse riding’, no matter how loudly. Insist on this
from the beginning.
3. Do four or five with the verb ‘like’.
4. Now put the other verbs on the board – hate, love – and get people to mime the remaining activities.
Rules as above – no points for shouting out the noun.
5. When they have done all 15 activities, see if anyone can mime something not on the list, e.g., skiing, roller
skating or playing baseball.
