My name is Leo, and my birthday is in May. I was born in 2014, on May 12. This year my birthday is on a Sunday, so we're having a party. It starts at three o'clock in the afternoon. On school days, I get up at seven, and lessons begin at eight thirty. I play basketball on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In the summer, we often go to the lake. I love reading in bed at night, but my mom always says, "Lights out at nine!"
Missing words: in, in, on, on, at, in, at, at, on, In, at, at
Teaching notes
Twelve gaps in a short text about a boy's birthday and his week, each filled with in, on or at. It practices at with clock times and night, on with days and dates (on May 12, on Tuesdays), and in with months, years and parts of the day or year (in 2014, in the afternoon, in the summer). It's for A1–A2 learners.
Before playing, write in, on and at as three headings on the board and collect a few examples from the class. Then fill the gaps together, and ask learners to read each finished sentence aloud. Afterwards, learners write five sentences about their own birthday and weekly routine with in, on and at. Play it live so each learner works on their own phone, or print it with the answer key for homework.
