Grade 5 Free Time and Hobbies Vocabulary PowerPoint

Lesson Sequence

• Present as a whole-class lesson using a projector or screen. Say each vocabulary word clearly and have students repeat it as a class, then in smaller groups. On the Key Language slide, model both question-and-answer patterns yourself before asking students to try them. Slides 6 and 7 work well for choral repetition and pair practice respectively; Slide 8 previews the printed Speaking Activity, so it's a natural bridge into that handout. The final review slide (9) works well as a quick formative check before moving on.

Classroom Activities

• After Slide 7 (Guided Practice), extend it into a "Find Someone Who" mingling activity: students walk around asking classmates "Do you like ___?" for different hobbies and write down the first classmate who says yes for each one. It gets students moving and multiplies the speaking practice well beyond a single seated pair.

Teacher Tips

On Slide 9 ("What's My Hobby?"), resist naming the hobby yourself even if students hesitate — give a longer pause than feels comfortable. Grade 5 students often know the word but need a moment to retrieve it under mild pressure, and that retrieval practice is more valuable than a fast answer.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to name 12 free-time activities and hobbies in English.
• Students will be able to ask "What do you like doing in your free time?" and answer with like/enjoy/love + -ing.
• Students will be able to ask "How often do you (activity)?" and answer using a frequency adverb.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Slow down on the two vocabulary slides and allow extra choral repetition rounds. Let students answer with a single word before requiring the full sentence pattern.
ON-LEVEL: Students follow the full slide sequence, participating in both the teacher-modelled dialogue and the guided practice pair work.
CHALLENGE: During Guided Practice, ask early finishers to add a reason to their answer, such as "I like swimming because it's relaxing."

Assessment

Use Slide 9 as an informal spot-check of vocabulary recall. For a more formal check, follow up with the Free Time and Hobbies Quiz.
