Conditional sentences 1 st type

This is an activity students did in the second year some days ago.
After having listened to a famous song of the 1970s If you leave me now by Chicago students were explained the use of the conditional sentences first type.

Then they were divided into groups of four and they were given the following activity:
Write down about the crazy things your parents said to you when you were a child. 
They wrote sentences starting If you..............

During the next lesson I asked them to stand, I read each of their sentences and I told them:  go on the right if you  have really heard in your lives that sentence from your  parents....or go on the left if you have never heard the sentence......

They had fun......this was a way to make them do a writing activity and a listening activity as well.

Of course this will also be a reading activity....since they will read all of their sentences on this blog!

When I was a child my parents thought Playstation 2 was bad for me.
They said: if you spend too much time on PS2, you won't see very well (your eyesight will get worse and worse)
