Daily routine match up

Teaching notes

Ten everyday routine phrases split in two, from brush your teeth and get dressed to set your alarm and fall asleep. Learners match each verb to the rest of its phrase, which builds the word partners A1 learners need to describe their day.

Play it as a warm-up, then ask learners to put the ten phrases in the order they do them, starting in the morning. In pairs, they tell each other their routine with times and words like first, then and after that ("I get dressed at seven"). For homework, they can write about a family member's day, adding -s for he and she. Switch it to Memory pairs for a second round, or play it live on phones.
