Default Re: Activities for the future tense "will"

A quick warm up would be the simple kids game called "I`m going..." The teacher starts out "I`m going shopping. I will buy a pencil". The first student says "I`m going shopping. I will buy a pencil and an eraser". Each student starts out the same, and has to remember all the previous answers and adds a new one. To make it simpler and faster, each student only has to remember the students answer directly before them. Good game for simple repetition of a sentence pattern for many different sentence structures. You have to teach the meaning first of course, but as I said, it`s a good warm up activity!

"I`m going to eat breakfast. I will eat..."
"I`m going to Kushiro. I will... simple verb"
"I`m going camping. I will bring..."
"I want to see the world... I want to visit...."
The possiblilities are only limited to your imagination and the sentace/grammar point you wish to make!
