ACTIVITY SUGGESTION
An alternative use for these cards is to do the activity as outlined on page 2 of the file, but play it as a 'pictionary' game.  Instead of acting out the activities, the students can draw pictures of the activities on the board.  Then, when a team correctly guesses the activity, they are awarded one point (of course, they must say 'play tennis', and not just 'tennis').

ACTIVITY SUGGESTION
Have your learners seated in pairs and make sure that they don't look at each other's papers.  After they finish, have them switch papers and continue one more time; then, stand up and talk to two or three classmates and ask two questions:  ​(1) Who did you talk to?        
 (2) What interesting things did you find out about him/her?

ACTIVITY IDEAS FOR THE BLACKBOARD OR WHITEBOARD                                                           

Introduce your lesson by drawing three large columns on the board with the headings 'Do' / 'Go' / 'Play'.  Then, write an example in each column; for example: Do aerobics / go bowling / Play badminton.  Next,  ask your students to draw a similar diagram in their notebooks, and then dictate the remaining words from the Grammar Chart above (at this point, don't focus much on word meanings).

Continue by having your students compare their answers with classmates, and then have three volunteers write their answers in the correct columns on the board.                                                                  

Wrap-up by correcting spelling mistakes and glossing the meanings of the words.  Explain how we generally differentiate between do / go / play ('Do' is generally used for different kinds of exercises used to strengthen your body.  'Go' is generally used for activities that you can do alone.  'Play' is generally used for competitive team sports.)
