Early Birds and Night Owls
Present Simple
A ready-to-teach A2 grammar lesson on the present simple for routines and facts, built around the science of early birds and night owls.
Students talk about mornings, ask real-life questions about routines and guess the answers to a body clock true/false quiz. They read a short text about an early bird and a night owl, notice the he/she/it endings, doesn't and does, and learn ten routine verbs with time phrases. After a clear rules slide with a watch-out box of typical errors, they play a team race with double-point rounds, role-play finding a flatmate and mingle with 'find someone who'.
