TitleIdea for Practicing the Imperfect
Body
Here is a suggestion for practicing the imperfect from an FLTEACH user:

Students always talk about their childhood in groups and bring pictures to show to their group. This time I asked them to bring a picture (when they were little ( 1-6 years old) ) and not to share their picture with anyone in class. They placed the pictures in a folder as they came in.

I placed all the pictures on the board and then each student had to describe themselves as kids. The class would then guess which on was his/her picture. They had to include their physical characteristics (2); their personality 2) using target vocab (mischievous, an angel, whiny, tomboy, obedient, rebellious, etc.) and one of their favorite games (I liked to color, I liked to play video games, etc.). Afterwards I followed up with one question based on what they had said.
