🔮 Explorers: Tomorrow's Plans
A fully interactive A2 Kids grammar lesson introducing be going to for plans that are already decided — the Explorer Club way. Students begin with four warm-up questions about days and weekend plans, then study the language in three clear blocks: Going to = a plan! (meaning and formula chips plus a calendar signal-words panel: tomorrow, tonight, next week, next weekend, next month), Choose your BE (an am/is/are picker table for every person with the contractions I'm, he's, we're), and The Explorer Plans Board (a time word + plan sentence-building table), always keeping the verb after going to in its base form (no -s, no -ing). Ten key words (tomorrow, tonight, next week, next weekend, next month, plan, diary, visit, trip, stay) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get detailed review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Plans File (~220 words) in which Zeynep, Leo, Mia and Kofi pin their weekend plans to the club board — grandma's garden, a big football match, new books, a sea trip — with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (am/is/are, going, to, base verbs and lesson words) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five diary prompts, third-person plan reporting and a model plan-sharing dialogue; a guided 25-40 word weekend-plans writing task with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle with tiered motivational feedback, and localStorage persistence.
