Every Day! The Present Simple for Habits and Routines

About This Resource

A complete Grade 3 ESL grammar pack on the present simple: habits and routines, adding -s, -es and -ies for he, she and it, negatives with don't and doesn't, and questions with do and does. Includes a lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, homework, A5 flashcards, a rubric, detailed slides with speaker notes, Word files and answer keys.

Overview

Children use the present simple to talk about things that happen every day. They describe routines (I get up at seven), learn the spelling rules for he, she and it (plays, watches, studies), make negatives with don't and doesn't, and ask and answer questions with do and does. They finish by writing about a family member's day.

Learning Objectives

Use the present simple to talk about habits and daily routines.
Add -s, -es or -ies to verbs after he, she and it.
Make negatives and questions with do, does, don't and doesn't.

How to Use This Resource

Mime your morning routine and say each sentence: "I get up. I brush my teeth. I eat breakfast."
Teach the rules with the slides, then use worksheet activities 1 to 6.
Use the quiz to check learning and send the family routine homework home.

Classroom Activity Ideas

Routine charades: a child mimes a routine and the class says "She brushes her teeth!"
Find someone who: children ask "Do you walk to school?" and write names.
Time line: children put routine cards in order on a clock and describe their day.

Differentiation

Support: focus on I and he/she sentences with -s only. Challenge: children write about a family member's day with negatives and frequency words such as always and never.

Assessment

Worksheet activities 1 to 5 and the quiz check forms and spelling. Use the rubric for the writing in activity 6.

Teacher Tips

Point to the -s every time you say he, she or it. A quick "he, she, it, add the s!" chant helps children remember.
