Loved the way you used LEGO pieces to teach the simple present. The cuisenaire rods are great tools to get students to learn and practice key points of language structure

Good idea. Never thought of using legos like this, but can you imagine a box of legos in the hands of little ones trying to learn English too?

Great way of showing the present simple!!! Just wondering... but is the present simple called simple present in your country?

[@Go4English_CrisGontow]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback! It's called simple present in American English :)

[@NellieDeutsch]

I checked and both are used around the world. I'm Canadian.

I like it and I think it is easy for the students to follow it and understand simple present but to which level is ? I think it is for the beginners.

[@Go4English_CrisGontow]

It is for beginners or for any students having trouble with the structure
