๐ฆ Explorers: Signs of the City
A fully interactive A2 Kids practice lesson that takes must and mustn't out into the city. Students begin with four warm-up questions about signs near school, tickets, zoo animals and library rules, then revise the language in two compact recap blocks: Read the Signs (how sign symbols become grammar: a red circle with a line means You mustn't, a blue or green info sign means You must, with zoo, pool and cinema examples plus the base-verb reminder) and Your Announcement Voice (the track's first style-awareness moment: chat voice vs announcement voice, with the Attention, please! frame, Welcome to..., Please remember: and Thank you! starters). Ten key words (sign, quiet, ticket, feed, touch, swim, photo, zoo, cinema, library) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get detailed review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style sign-hunt report in three scenes โ the swimming pool (shower sign and wet-floor sign), the zoo (no feeding, no flash) and the cinema-plus-library finale (tickets, phones off, and a whispered 'You must be quiet') โ where every sign becomes a must or mustn't rule in context, with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (place rules with ticket, feed, quiet, touch, swim and photo, plus sign-reading logic) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section where students become place experts, deliver PA announcements in their best announcement voice and play a which-place-is-it guessing game with a model dialogue; a guided 25-40 word writing task turning the real homework (find one real sign outside and translate its rule) into a sign report with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz (six sign-and-rule questions plus two reading-comprehension questions) featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered motivational feedback, and localStorage persistence.

- must/mustn't + base verb across places: You must buy a ticket. You mustn't feed the animals.
- Place rules: pool (must shower, mustnโt run), zoo (mustnโt feed, mustnโt use a flash), cinema (must buy a ticket, must turn off your phone), library (must be quiet)
- The verb after must/mustn't stays in base form in every announcement โ no -s, no 'to'
- Announcement frame: Attention, please! + the rule + Thank you!
- Register: announcement voice (slow, loud, clear) vs chat voice (soft, fast, friendly)
