ASSOCIATIONS: Match phrasal verbs to categories
In this activity, students match phrasal verbs from the list to three categories (e.g. health, relationships, money). After that, they use the phrasal verbs from each category to describe a process or a few steps of an activity related to the categories (e.g. building relationships, getting ill, spending or saving money).
STORYTELLING: Create stories with phrasal verbs
These phrasal verbs activities focus on stories. Students receive a list of six phrasal verbs and the beginnings of two stories. They have to continue the stories using the phrasal verbs. Teachers can give some hints or some sentences for students to facilitate the process. Students can also compare their stories to those in a teacher’s version.
DIALOGUES: Rewrite sentences and build dialogues
In this activity, students rewrite sentences using phrasal verbs with the verb givine in brackets. Then, they put the news sentences in the correct order to create dialogues. Teachers can also ask students to create their own dialogues related to a different aspect of life.
TRIOS: Complete phrasal verb sentences and discuss
These phrasal verb activities are based on the phrases with the same verb or particle. Students read three sentences or questions related to a particular topic. Then, they complete them with the missing verb or particle. Finally, they discuss the questions or agree/disagree with the statements .

This is an excellent collection of phrasal verb exercises but there is one slight error that caught my attention. In the first exercise, we have “go down with the flu” and the correct phrasal verb is “come down with”. Thank you 🙂
Best regards
Thank you for your comment! The thing is that we can use both phrases https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/go-down-with

This is a great collection of 50+ phrasal verbs. Just one thing, I do find that the introduction of new phrasal verbs within the activity exercises, without any explanation, makes the learning process harder. It might be useful to also have a final list of the sets of phrasal verbs learnt so that students can refer back to them easily when reviewing. Just a thought! 😉
I agree with Ana’s comment. The lesson introduces new phrasal verbs within the activities without explanation. It’s very puzzling for teachers and students. Too many phrasal verbs. It would be useful to have a list of all the Ph.Vs used with examples and some sort of definitions. As it is, I don’t recommend this material, too puzzling…
Hi! Thanks for your comment. This worksheet is a collection of standalone activities that a teacher can use to make students work with phrasal verbs more and retain them better. The activities are not designed to be taught at once 🙂 It’s also our way of illustrating the ideas for phrasal verbs activities we describe here: https://eslbrains.com/teaching-phrasal-verbs-ideas-for-activities/
I hope this gets a re-write. You can’t list so many phrasal verbs without a context. In many cases the students don’t know them, so they’ll just be guessing. I still might use it in part today but I really hope you can come back to this one.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. As mentioned earlier, this worksheet isn’t meant to be taught all at once. It’s a collection of standalone activities designed to illustrate how to practice phrasal verbs, connecting to the ideas in our blog post. You can use these activities for revision or incorporate your own sets of phrasal verbs while utilizing the ideas from the worksheet.
What a brilliant lesson! My students loved the variety of tasks and we laughed a lot during the exercise of 2 truths and a lie. They worked in pairs to tackle the other exercises making it easier to brain storm ideas. We also added friendly competition to see which group finished first. By the end of the lesson, they were mentally exhausted but extremely satisfied about their new friends ‘phrasal verbs’ that they continued to use them correctly even after the lesson. Thank you so much for all your hard work that goes into these lessons and making my life easier!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s great to hear that your students had such a fun and productive time, and that the phrasal verbs stuck with them even after the lesson.😊
Sorry my comment above was for the lesson Calm down and Carry on worksheet. 🙂
