Activity 4 Play “Yesterday I bought ...” 10 min
Objectives: to consolidate the past simple and times; 
to give practice in speaking 
In advance, write down time adverbs (Yesterday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 
Friday, Saturday, Sunday) on small squares of paper enough for the number of the pupils in the 
class. Also include a few “wild cards” with a question mark written on them. Fold the squares of 
paper and put into a small box. Mix and put all the vegetable, fruit and food flashcards into a basket. 
STEP 1: First, demonstrate. Ask a pupil to come to your table and take a piece of paper out of 
the box and a flashcard out of the basket. For example, s/he takes “Yesterday” from the box and 
“melon” from the basket. Help him/her to make a sentence, using the structure: “Yesterday, I 
bought ____”. So s/he says: „Yesterday, I bought a melon‟. 
STEP 2: Ask the pupils to come to your table in turns and do the same as was demonstrated. 
If a pupil picks a wild card, they can make a sentence about any day. For example, “On Monday I 
bought ...”.
