Before or After

How to use:

Individual Work

• Show an action card (e.g. get dressed, brush teeth).
• Ask the student to say when they usually do it — before or after another activity.
• Encourage the use of time expressions (always, usually, sometimes…) and full sentences (e.g. I usually get dressed after breakfast.).
• Ask for explanations: Why?, What makes more sense?

Pair or Group Work

• Put students in pairs or small groups.
• Each student gets one card or takes turns choosing an action.
• They say when the action happens for them and explain why.
• Partners compare habits and ask follow-up questions.

Class Sharing

• Invite students to share the most interesting or unusual routine.
• Highlight correct use of sequencing (before/after) and time expressions.
• Briefly review or correct common grammar slips.
