My Week Recap

My Week Recap is a quick and engaging speaking warm-up designed to help students talk about their past week in a simple and structured way. Using visual prompts in the form of paper planes, learners choose topics and share their experiences, practising past simple and past continuous in a natural, personalised context. The activity is flexible and suitable for A1–B2 levels, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups or different class types.
