๐ฌ Explorers: Did You...?
A fully interactive A2 Kids practice lesson that turns the Mission 7 -ed verbs into question power. Students warm up with a fast -ed recap and a comic guess-the-teacher round, then revise the target language in two focused boxes: Magic Did (Did + person + base verb, because did eats the -ed: Did you watched โ โ Did you watch โ, with time chips for last weekend, on Saturday, yesterday and last night) and Didn't (did not + base verb for past negatives, plus a short-answer table โ Yes, I did / No, I didn't โ for every person). Ten key items (did, didn't, last weekend, on Saturday and six recycled -ed verbs) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and question examples, and six get detailed review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Team File: The Explorer Quiz Show, a lively ~230-word interview in which quiz master Kofi grills the team about last weekend, Leo gets caught fibbing about cleaning his room, and Kofi himself must confess about the popcorn โ did-questions, didn't-negatives and short answers everywhere, with tricky words highlighted on hover. As a practice mission the balance shifts to doing: 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blanks choosing Did, didn't, did or the bare verb, with live green/red validation, did-eats-the-ed hints and a running score; a rich speaking section with five interview prompts (weekend bingo, find-someone-who, truthful answers, the fibber game) and a five-line model bingo dialogue with the challenge question Did you really...?; a real-life writing task โ interview someone at home with two Did-you questions and record the answers (25-40 words) โ with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz on questions, negatives, short answers and the quiz-show reading, with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered motivational feedback, and localStorage persistence.
