Making arrangements phone calls game

What are your arrangements and plans for tomorrow, for this weekend and for the beginning of next week?

Write all of your real arrangements (meetings, drinks with friends, dentist appointments, etc) in the spaces below, also including plans like going for a jog on your own if you like.

Roleplay phoning people in the class to make as many (business or leisure) arrangements as you can for the next seven days, making sure that you don’t clash with things already in your diary. You must change the person that you speak to after each attempt, but you can go back to the same person later if you like. Write all the new arrangements that you successfully make above. The person with most new arrangements will win the game. 

Report your new arrangements to the class, starting with the person who thinks they have most new arrangements, mentioning the day, time and person you are meeting. If anyone else says that arrangement is wrong or if you have made two arrangements for the same time, the person with the next biggest number of new arrangements reports theirs in the same way.

Without looking above, brainstorm as many future time expressions as you can.
