(TESOL Worksheets--Present Perfect)
Google (drive, docs, pub)
[Okay, first of all, I know this Buzzfeed video is really lame. Apologies for that. I spent a lot of time searching Youtube for some sort of list of experiences that I could exploit for the Present Perfect. I initially wanted to find something that incorporated listening, but couldn't find any professional looking videos that had audio on them. (There were some vlogs of people just talking into the camera about their top things to do before turning 30, or before dying, or whatever, but nothing ideal for using in the classroom.) Despite the fact that this buzzfeed video doesn't have any listening, and despite the fact that the list they've compiled is utterly underwhelming, this was the best I could find.
The Buzzfeed video is embedded above, and also at the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoj4tYAyQNg I have the students watch it first without any handouts, and just keep a running tally of how many of these things they have done. Then I give them the handout written in the imperative, and have students check off which of the experiences they have had. Then I give them the second handout, and they re-write their experiences in the Present Perfect.
I attempted to exploit this for a couple classroom games, like a simple "Who has the most checks?" competition, or a game where the class tried to guess who had which experiences.]

Which one of these have you done? Put a check mark symbol ü by the experiences
that you have had.
