About the Topic: Daily Activities

Daily activities are the things people do every day as part of their normal routine. These activities help organize our lives and give structure to our day. From the moment we wake up until we go to bed, we follow a series of actions such as getting up, having breakfast, going to school or work, studying, relaxing, and sleeping.

Learning how to talk about daily activities in English helps students describe their lives, understand schedules, and communicate more clearly. This topic is especially important at the intermediate level because students begin to use time expressions, adverbs of frequency, and sequence words like first, then, after that, and finally.

Daily activities vocabulary is also useful in many real-life situations, such as talking about habits, explaining routines, or comparing weekdays and weekends. For example, students can say, “I usually wake up at seven,” or “In the evening, I do my homework and relax.”

This topic is supported in multiple languages to help learners from different backgrounds understand and practice effectively.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game

The BoomWords Game is an effective and engaging way to practice daily activities vocabulary. The teacher announces the topic “Daily Activities,” and students take turns saying one activity, such as “wake up,” “go to school,” or “have dinner.” If a student repeats a word or cannot answer quickly, they say “Boom!” and sit down.

At the intermediate level, the game can be extended by asking students to:

  • Use the activity in a full sentence

  • Add a time expression (e.g., “I wake up at 7 a.m.”)

  • Use an adverb of frequency

This game improves fluency, memory, and confidence while keeping students active and motivated.
