Present continuous tense
When I was preparing the lesson on Clothes I knew that at the same time the elementary students will have to learn the present continuous tense. And as I had a little time to spare I prepared the following activities for them to learn this grammar point.
Present continuous tense Mind map
Once again I present the tense using the following mind map where I try to explain the form and basic usage of the tense.

Present continuous tense games
Now that you know the theory it is time to use it in the games. The first two games – Penalty and Hoopshot – test your knowledge of the form and of the usage of the present continuous tense. The third game test your ability to form the verbs with -ing ending in the correct way.
So good luck and you can play:
Present continuous tense – penalty game.
Present continuous tense – hoop shoot game.
Verbs with -ing ending – teacher invaders game.
More games
If you are an elementary student trying to learn English the following games and mind maps might be useful for you.
As I mentioned above our previous post deals with CLOTHES and can find there a video, mind map and four games to practise this vocabulary set.
Then you should certainly try our post dealing with past simple tense. There is a mind map explaining the usage and form of the past simple tense. Moreover, there are several games where you can learn the past forms of irregular verbs. So, do not hesitate and try our Past simple post.
If you think that you need to learn or practise more vocabulary, there is a post dealing with food. There is a mind map with the pictures of different kinds of food and then there are games where you can practise what you have learnt.

Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?
There’s a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your
content. Please let me know. Cheers
I would love that. Go on.
Do you use that mind map to explain the tense and put on the classroom wall or do you also give a copy of the mind map to your students so they can have it in their notebooks?
I give the copy to the students too. I think they need it to understand it better. Of course, I prefer printing it out in colour but that is expensive.
Thank you very much & Thanks for sharing. Very useful.

I wish I could use the games again but nothing works here 🙁
Unfortunately, the games are in Flash and it is no longer supported. Therefore we cannot play the games. Sorry about it.
