🪐 Sunshine Club 2: Opposite Day at School

A fully interactive A1.2 Kids reading lesson from the Sunshine Club 2 series (Lesson 52, Now vs Every Day unit). Children warm up with four opposite-brain actions (name a normal day, imagine Opposite Day, stand instead of sit, find a usually/today pair). A Before-You-Read focus box teaches the pair hunt: usually = every-day world (present simple), today = now world (is + -ing), joined by 'but', with three colour-tagged examples and a story-signal chip panel (usually, every day, today, now, Look!, but). Ten words appear in a scrollable table (opposite, usually, today, quiet, loud, sit, stand, walk, hop, funny) with 4-8 word definitions, and six get review flashcards. The Reading Corner is the star: 'Opposite Day at School' (about 115 words, lines of 4-9 words) - each Sunshine friend and even the teacher does the opposite of usual - with six hover-tooltip words and a six-chip Word cards row for early literacy. Practice gives 8 one-word fill-in-the-blank sentences drawn straight from the story (Opposite, sits, is, eats, is, but, is, today - including two 3rd-person -s items) with live green/red feedback and hints; Speaking is a read-and-act pair game with five prompts and a six-line model dialogue between Nina and Ela; the Writing task turns the read-aloud homework into writing your own Opposite Day pair with three frames, a four-step checklist, a live word counter (aim 15-30 words) and auto-save. An 8-question multiple-choice Sunshine Quiz with a progress bar, four story-comprehension questions, one-line explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence closes the lesson.
