First conditional pair work activity for ESL

An ESL first conditional speaking activity that also involves listening, and a little writing. Note that tou will need both worksheets for this activity to work.

To conduct this exercise have your students sit opposite each other or in a way that they cannot see each other’s handout. Student A should read an if clause, while student B should listen, choose the correct main clause to finish the sentence, and read that to Student A. Student A, should then write that answer on their worksheet.

If your students have poor pronunciation or listening skills, make sure they know how to ask each other to repeat the answers and ask how words are spelt.

This activity is quite easy, but if you think your students may not know some of the vocabularies be sure to go over any new words beforehand.
