Life Adventures: A Speaking Board Game
Teams move around a 24-space board answering questions about places they have visited, things they have tried, and goals they have not yet achieved. Prompts use present perfect chunks ('Have you ever...?') and past simple to encourage authentic sharing. Chance cards add movement and mini-speaking tasks.
