Activities

• Vocabulary Brainstorming: Start by brainstorming a list of activities that you do daily, such as waking up, brushing teeth, eating breakfast, going to school, etc. Write them down in your notebook in both English and the target language. This will help you build your vocabulary.

• Role-Playing: Pair up with a family member or a friend (or just use your imagination) and role-play a conversation about your daily routine. Take turns asking and answering questions, such as "What time do you wake up?" and "What do you do after school?"

• Daily Routine Chart: Create a visual chart of your daily routine using drawings or symbols to represent each activity. Label each part of your routine in the target language. This will reinforce your vocabulary and provide a visual reference.
