Present Continuous ESL Unit – I Am + At Home Verbs (3 Full Lessons, No Prep)

Introduce the present continuous in a clear and structured way with this engaging I am + verbs ESL unit, designed for primary learners. This resource includes 3 full lessons that guide students step by step from understanding the structure I am… to using it confidently in real communication.

Students learn and practise everyday at home actions such as I am cooking, I am reading, I am brushing my teeth, while also revising rooms in the house through questions like Where are you? and What are you doing?

The unit includes a wide variety of interactive activities, games, and worksheets such as flashcards, puzzles, bingo, memory games, sentence-building tasks, speaking games, and simple writing practice. Students are constantly encouraged to use full sentences, combining place and action naturally, for example I am in the kitchen. I am cooking.

Each lesson follows a clear structure and progression, making it easy to introduce, practise, and reinforce the language without extra planning. All activities are visual, simple to use, and designed to keep students engaged while building confidence in speaking.

This unit is ideal for second and third graders and works perfectly as a first step before introducing full present continuous with he, she, and other subjects, helping students build a strong foundation first.

A complete, no-prep teaching solution that saves time and helps your students start using present continuous with confidence.
