At the Airport with Benny 🎭
Hello young explorers!
Today our friend Benny the Bear has arrived at the airport and is about to begin an exciting journey. But he needs your help! Together, you’ll help Benny check in, ask for directions, and find his gate so he can board his plane safely.

This page includes a set of worksheets with role-play cards, dialogues, and travel-airport vocabulary ready for you to use.
Learning Objective
Students will practice real-life English communication in a travel context:
- Using expressions to check in and move through the airport.
- Asking and giving directions.
- Interacting in English with confidence
Useful Expressions:
- “Where is gate 3?”
- “Here is your boarding pass.”
- “Excuse me, where is the restroom?”
- “What time does the plane leave?”
- “Can I see your passport, please?”
Instructions:
- Work in pairs or small groups.
- Choose roles: Benny, flight attendant, security officer, or gate agent.
- Download or use the worksheet cards from the link above.
- Use the cards to act out a scene: one student is Benny arriving at the airport, another helps him with check-in, another gives directions, etc.
- Use gestures, facial expressions, and real-life movement (walk, point, turn) to make your role-play lively and fun.
- Perform your scene in front of the class, or record a short video for the blog.
By helping Benny at the airport, you're practising English in a real world travel setting. You’ll get stronger in speaking, better at using new vocabulary, and more confident about communicating in English in real situations.
Teacher’s Note
This role-play links directly to our earlier listening activity ("Travel and Holidays") and our picture-dictionary work (“Benny’s Travel Words”). It helps students move from listening and memorising vocabulary to actively using language in a communication task. Encourage learners to self-evaluate: Did I ask questions? Did I give directions? Did I use new travel words? This helps build learner autonomy and confidence.
