Write the names of the activity on the board: reading or films, or whatever you said. Ask: Who else likes reading/films;' .. ? Add two or three more simple names of popular activities which you think some of your students may like : football, walking, dancing, drawing. For each of them ask: Who likes... ?Then add the word activities (and the hyphen in free-time) to the board to complete the title of the lesson: free time activitis. Say: Today we're going to talk about free-time activities.
