Teacher’s Overview
At the Airport – Spot the Differences (A1–B2)
A classic Spot the Difference activity becomes a complete picture-based English lesson.
Using the same two airport pictures, students work with practical travel vocabulary and gradually move from simple observation and speaking to storytelling, problem solving, discussion, debate, and creative writing.
The activities are designed for four levels, allowing teachers to choose the appropriate challenge for their students.

💡 Teaching Tip
Before asking students to find the ten differences, spend a few minutes exploring the picture together. Ask what they can see, who is travelling, what people are carrying and what might be happening.
This gives students useful vocabulary before they begin the main activity.
