I think it was most difficult for me to learn “Present Perfect Tense – Experience” as a student, because it is difficult to understand the difference between Present Perfect and Past. If I teach it now, I will do as follow.
1) Do the game as Warming-Up. For example, show the card written “be”. Students answer “been”. “write” changes “written”.
2) Put the picture to show the situation. And give a sentence “I have been to an amusement park.” Write the sentence on the board.
3) Explain the grammar. In addition explain the difference between Preset Perfect and Past.
Sample sentences: I have been to an amusement perk.
I went to an amusement park.
She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
She went to Tokyo Disney Land.
4) Chorus repetition with the change of speed.
For example; T: I have been to an amusement park.
S: I have been to an amusement park.
T: She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
S: She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
5) Give other sentences. And write it on the board.
For example: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
6) Chorus repetition with the change of speed.
For example: T: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
S: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
7) Hand out the sheets. Do the sheets. After students finish the sheets, check the answer and repeat.
For example: Q. Change the words in the ( ) to their proper form.
1. I have (be) to Kyoto.
2. I have never (eat) avocado.
3. She has (ride) on a Ferris wheel.
8) Give the sheets and change the sentences.
For example: I have been to an amusement park.
(She) She has been to an amusement park.
(America) She has been to America.
(never) She has never been to America.
(work in) She has never worked in America.
9) Do repetition.
For example: Show the sentence “I have been to an amusement park.”
T: She. S: She has been to an amusement park.
T: America. S: She has been to America.
T: Never. S: She has never been to America.
T: Work in. S: She has never worked in America.
10) Ask the students to write a sentence about each of the topics.
For example: a good thing that has happened, a bad thing that has happened and so on.
11) Practice to read these sentences. And ask the question.
12) Consolidate the class.
That’s all. Thank you.

Patapata,
Great effort in writing out your lesson! However, I think your lesson needs more of a communicative component. There is too much drilling and although students might be able to say present perfect and past-tense sentences I do not think that they will understand the difference. I think that you need to SHOW them when present perfect is used and when past tense is used.
