Present Simple In Autumn Colours

A2 (Pre-Intermediate) Grammar Kids

In this lesson, kids learn and practice the Present Simple tense through the theme of autumn. The lesson combines autumn vocabulary (leaves, apple pie, squirrels, sweater, Halloween, etc.) with grammar practice.


Students:

 • Look at and describe pictures.

 • Read a short story about Mia’s autumn days.

 • Match verbs and nouns to build collocations.

 • Practice grammar forms (positive, negative, and questions in Present Simple).

 • Answer personal questions about autumn routines.

 • Play interactive online games to reinforce the tense.

 • Do creative role-play tasks (e.g., “A day in the life of a dragon, unicorn, or fairy”).

  • Extra tasks 


Why it is Useful for Kids: 


  • Contextual learning – Kids see grammar inside a real, relatable theme (autumn), not in isolation.
  • Vocabulary + grammar together – They practice what they already know (autumn words) while adding new grammar skills.
  • Interactive tasks – Matching, guessing, reading, role-play, and online games make the lesson dynamic and fun.
  • Personalization – Kids connect Present Simple to their own lives.
  • Creativity – Imaginary roles let them use the tense in playful contexts.
