We also know what it's like to finish our class 5 or 10 minutes early and risk total chaos if we don't have a backup activity prepared and waiting to go.  ESL warm-up or time-filling activities are essential in the English classroom. Students may be tired or have other things on their minds and diving straight into a textbook or grammar explanation can often lead to disastrous results. With a good warmup activity, you can put your students into English study mode, making them attentive,  interested, and ready to participate.
