 Activity for teaching the simple present for the ESL classroom, classmate interviews. This activity is useful for new classes where the students aren't too familiar with one another. Set up your students in pairs, and have them ask each other about their families, hobbies, and interests, using the question do you like? And what do you like to do in your spare time? After a certain amount of time, have each student introduce their partner to the whole class. Here they practice using the simple past in the third person singular, saying things like Bobby likes to play football in his spare time.
