The future continuous tense is used to talk about what will be happening at a certain point in the future, for example At 9 PM, I will be studying English. Students often find the continuous tenses to be rather challenging even at the intermediate level. Here at Busy Teacher, there are 39 Future Continuous worksheets that you can use to help your students learn and practice this tense. This is a Future Progressive song worksheet for intermediate and upper intermediate students. There is a lot of variety in this worksheet. There are several listening exercises and a reading, comprehension, and discussion type activity at the very end. Once students have learned several different tenses, you could focus their attention on tenses by adding in some of your own exercises. Identifying tenses may not sound like a lot of fun but listening to the song or watching the music video will make it more interesting. Besides worksheets, this page also has a couple articles to help you teach tenses so take a few minutes to read those for even more tips and lesson ideas.
