Tenses in Motion
A dynamic board game where teens practise all English tenses through authentic communicative tasks. Players navigate 24 spaces using speaking prompts anchored to real-world scenarios—from describing past experiences to hypothesizing about the future. Teams compete by completing pair-talks, group discussions, mini-presentations, and action tasks that demand full sentences and genuine communication.
