Hobbies and Daily Routines

Oct 1, 2026

A classroom activity resource titled “Hobbies and Daily Routines” for EAL learners. It provides structured tasks for discussing hobbies and preferences, including “things I like” at school and at home, and gathering information by asking friends. Learners practise everyday routines by using key vocabulary, matching activities to time (e.g., waking up) and filling tables. Sample dialogue about Sue, Abdul, Laura, and Tom supports listening and chart completion, with example actions such as watching TV, playing instruments, practising, playing sports, and going to school.
