Grammar Quest: The Speaking Adventure
Young learners race around a 24-space board, landing on prompts that require them to speak about their lives using A2 grammar: past simple, present simple, can/can't, going to, and simple comparatives. Chance cards add surprise twists. Teams compete to reach the finish line while building confidence in real communication.
