Introduce pupils to different time phrases that refer to particular tenses (past, present & future), allowing them to show off their knowledge of tenses in a simple way.

They do this by stepping backwards (past), stomping (present) and stepping forwards (future).

My students stick this into the front cover of their exercise books and use it to record summative assessment results each half-term, giving them an overview of their progress over the year. It’s in the shape of an arrow and, at the end of the arrow, they write their target grade/level. When they record their assessment results, they also have to write a few words to say what they will do to try to improve their result for the next assessment.

Pupils work out the greetings phrases by cracking the code. They then put the 9 phrases into the logical order of a conversation.

Pupils complete the worksheet based around simple greeting, yes and no.

Vocab spinners. Cut these out and use them to revise vocab. Stick a stick in the middle and pupils spin it! On the second slide are the cards to use with the spinner. Pupils pick up one of the cards and do the challenge from the spinner. The challenges are: spell it, write it, define it, use it.
