Football World Cup Adventure
Young learners travel around a 24-space board answering questions about football, the World Cup, and European countries. Players use present-simple verbs, basic nouns, and simple questions to describe teams, players, actions, and countries. Communicative tasks include asking partners about their favourite teams, acting out football moves, and agreeing as a team on World Cup facts.
