Teaching notes

Ten ways to travel, each described by how it moves or what it carries: plane, train, bus, taxi, ship, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, helicopter and subway. It suits A1 learners and practices simple present descriptions ("It flies", "It has two wheels").

Solve it together on the board, then ask learners how they get to school and which ones they have used. As a follow-up, ask pairs to write their own clues for words like boat, car or tram and swap them with another pair. Print it as a clue-matching worksheet with the answer key, play it live on learners' phones, or switch it to Match up.
