Shopping Spree: First Conditional Challenge
Teens navigate a 24-space shopping board using first conditional structures. Players land on prompts requiring pair talk, team discussion, presentations, and gestures. Three chance cards add surprise speaking tasks and board movement. Designed to build fluency in if-then reasoning during realistic shopping scenarios.
