In this free future perfect continuous game, students say some words and mime an action to help a partner guess a future perfect continuous sentence. In pairs, students take turns saying the words in the first column and miming the action in the second column to their partner, who has one minute to guess the action and say the future perfect continuous sentence. If their partner is successful, the student puts a tick in the box next to the sentence. The student with the most correct guesses at the end of the game wins.
Here is a productive future perfect continuous activity for upper-intermediate students. In pairs, Student A reads out a sentence half to their partner who checks the sentence halves on their worksheet to find a matching half. Their partner then completes the matching sentence half with a verb from a box in the future perfect continuous and reads it back to Student A. If Student A agrees the sentence half matches, they write it down. If not, Student B looks for another sentence half. When all the sentence halves have been matched, students swap roles. Afterwards, go through the correct answers as a class by eliciting the sentences from the students.
