Daily Routines — What Do You Do Every Day? (A1/A2)
🎙 From the classroom: My morning in Réunion: wake up at 5am, drink coffee, look at the ocean, walk to the bakery. Every day, the same. Routines are where the Present Simple lives — and for young learners, their own routine is the most engaging text they’ll ever read.
💡 The Idea
Daily routine vocabulary includes: wake up · get up · have breakfast · brush teeth · get dressed · go to school · have lunch · do homework · have dinner · go to bed. Use these with times: ‘I wake up at 7 o’clock.’ Use adverbs of frequency: always, usually, sometimes, never.
🗣 Example
⏰ 7:00 — I wake up. 🥣 7:30 — I have breakfast.
🚌 8:00 — I go to school. 🍱 12:30 — I have lunch.
📚 4:00 — I do homework. 🛏️ 9:00 — I go to bed.💬 ‘What time do you wake up?’ — ‘I usually wake up at 7 o’clock.’
