Today we did many things and had lots of fun!
We were talking about daily routine of other people and practised s/es.
We played Bingo and Guessing Game, you did very well.

Also we learnt how to make questions about somebody´s daily routine. We learnt the verb "does":

He watches TV.
He wakes up.
He has dinner etc.
