Daily Routines

(TESOL Worksheets--Writing, Speaking, Present Simple, Topic Lessons)
[This was designed for elementary students who have to prepare to describe their daily routines on a speaking test.  But I think it can stand independently as a speaking/writing activity for any elementary class.
The PowerPoint is designed so that the picture shows first (without the description) and is used to elicit the correct verbs from the class.  In my class, I repeated the PowerPoint a couple times, until the students had learned all the verbs.  (The daily routine in the PowerPoint bears very little relation to my actual life, but is rather the life of a generic 9-5 business man).
PowerPoint on Google (Drive, Slides, Pub) and Worksheet also on Google (Drive, Docs, Pub).

Update: I expanded these materials into a full topic lesson:
Expanded PowerPoint: slides, pub
Warmer: docs, pub
Match Vocab to Pictures: drive, docs, pub
Production activity: docs, pub
Teacher's Notes: docs, pub





My Daily Routine
I wake up every morning at 7 a.m.  The first thing I do is have a cup of coffee.  It helps to wake me up before I start the day.  Then I take a shower, shave, and get dressed.  I eat breakfast.  I usually eat cereal and milk.  I try to leave my house at 8 a.m.  I go to work by car.  If the traffic is not bad, I get to work at 8:30.  I start my working day at 9 a.m.  At my job, I usually have to answer phones, meet with clients, and write reports.  I get one hour off for lunch at 12:00.  I usually go the sandwich shop across the street, and get a chicken and cheese sandwich.  Then I go back to work until 5 p.m.  After work, I often go out to coffee with my co-workers to relax and talk about the day.  Then, I go home.  I try to exercise a little bit every day, so I might go jogging for about 1 hour in the evening.  I make dinner.  I often cook noodles, because they are very easy to make.  Then, after dinner, I read my book for about an hour.  Then, it is time to get ready for bed.

Write about your daily routine below.
Remember, use “at” with specific times (at 6:00A.M., at 7:30)
But use “in” with morning, afternoon, or evening.

In, At, On Prepositions of Time--Doraemon PowerPoint Game

(TESOL Worksheets--Prepositions)

So, once-again, here is a PowerPoint game in which I can take no credit for the template or the questions, but I just want to preserve my work of filling in the boxes.
One of my co-workers recently downloaded a number of these PowerPoint templates from the Internet. (Apparently they come mostly from English Teachers working in South Korea.) This one is credited to Kyle Ludeke.  And all the questions come from English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy (A).
There are several questions in which I think more than one answer is possible.  Although only one answer appears at the bottom of the screen, the teacher should use their discretion on a few of these to allow alternative answers.  
I've also allowed my American bias to change "at the weekend" to "on the weekend".
