This activity is a great one for pair work. Present Perfect is the best to be practiced on activity work sheets like this. Enjoy. I do practice them in my class. Students work individually at first, then they turn to their partner and work with him.

The students see many objects and are given a list of names which they should match with their pictures. The names of the objects have more than one meaning. Students are then given sentences where they are going to use the words in other meanings. They can use either logic or dictionary to find different meanings for these names which will fit in the sentences. This activity will work effectively both in the classroom and outside the classroom. It can also be assigned for individual and group work. My students were really interested in the activity. They asked each other, worked collaboratively, also used dictionary and sometimes asked for my help. The output was productive as in the end students remembered all the words.

This webpage gives some interesting activities for practicing Present Perfect. Some of them I have used some are new. Give it a try. These activities can be done by students in pairs. Students may ask follow up questions such as when, who, with, which will lead them from Present Perfect to Past Simple.

This is an online game you can use if you use technologies in the class. Otherwise, you might print them out and provide handouts to your students. This game can be played in pairs or individually. Or you may want to divide your students into two groups. Provide with two boards or flipcharts and have two groups work separately within a certain time limitation to complete the assignment. The group that finishes first wins and gets a price, star, etc.

The activity consists of flashcards. Below the pictures there are some words. The teacher can cut the pictures and the words and ask the students to find the corresponding pictures and words. Teachers can assign it as a group or an individual work. This activity is more suitable for class work. I gave this activity to my daughter and she was interested in it. She asked me to give her more activities like that. So, I decided to give such activities to my beginner group students.

This game can be played on line or again with the use of handouts. In case if you don't want to use it online, then the best option is to prepare cards with the word and the articles below, as in the online version. And have the students answer every time you show one card. You can choose one students to answer or make it a competition on "first answered gets a star" This can be engaging and motivating.

This game gives the student the opportunity to activate his/her vocabulary. It provides the student with eight letters and the student has to make up as many words with these letters as possible. Good game for individual and group work. My students liked it but they said that they had better play this game at home. They confessed that this game if played regularly activates passive vocabulary.
