Life Journey: A Speaking Board Game
Teens share travel experiences, things they have tried, and future goals through communicative speaking tasks. Players move around a 24-space board answering questions about their lives, acting out scenarios, and discussing with teammates. Prompts use formulaic present-perfect chunks (Have you ever...?) alongside past simple narratives to keep language at A2 level.
