One student goes first and says the words in the first column of their worksheet. The student then mimes the action in the second column to help their partner guess the future perfect continuous sentence in the third column. Their partner has one minute to guess the action and say the sentence. If they are successful, the student puts a tick in the box next to the sentence. Students take it in turns to mime to their partner until all the future perfect continuous sentences have been mimed. The student with the most correct guesses wins the game.
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.
