🔮 Explorers: Will vs Going To
A fully interactive A2.2 Kids grammar lesson that structures the Future Choices unit by contrasting the two future forms. Students warm up with four plan-vs-guess questions, then study the language in three blocks: Going To — for Plans (am/is/are going to + verb for decisions made before speaking, with a plan-signals panel: I decided, I've got a ticket, tonight, at the weekend, next holiday), Will — for Guesses & Quick Offers (predictions and decisions made right now, with the careful reminder to use will when there is no plan), and The Simple Rule table that maps each situation to a door (decided before = going to; deciding or guessing now = will). Ten planning-themed words (plan, decide, sure, guess, weekend, holiday, ticket, project, probably, choose) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions, and six get review flashcards. The reading, The Weekend Plan, shows Team Compass mixing plans (going to) and guesses/offers (will) so students can sort them, with six hover-tooltip words. Practice offers 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (going, will, to, are and lesson words) with live green/red validation, hints and a score; a speaking section with five plan/guess/offer prompts plus a why-that-form step and a model five-line dialogue; a guided 30-50 word writing task (one plan + one prediction) with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question quiz mixing will-vs-going-to selection with two reading-comprehension questions, a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
