๐ Explorers: City Navigators
A fully interactive A2 Kids practise lesson that turns direction basics into real navigation. Students begin with four warm-up questions (mental routes, buildings near school, map-readers, helping a tourist), then recap in two compact boxes: Direction Words (turn left/right, go straight on, stop โ commands with no 'you', plus don't-turn warnings) and Landmark Power (at = the turning point, past = walk by without stopping, with formula chips, a five-step chain example and a landmark-chips panel: at the corner, at the traffic lights, past the cinema, past the bridge, to the square). Ten key words (navigator, past, corner, traffic lights, bridge, square, turn, straight on, map, landmark) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions, and six get review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Team File (~230 words): Kofi leaves a mystery note with five directions, the team follows the route past the cinema and over the bridge, and the secret destination is the Saturday street market in the square โ with 8 hover-tooltip words and full direction chains in context. Practice includes 8 fill-in-the-blank direction items (past, at, straight on, bridge, corner, square, navigator, turn) with live green/red validation, hints and a score bar; a Navigator-and-Driver speaking section with five prompts (classroom routes, secret destinations, tourist game) and a model 4-line dialogue; a guided 25-40 word writing task turning the homework into written door-to-shop directions with a four-point checklist and auto-saving word counter; and an 8-question quiz (at vs past, direction chains, city vocabulary, plus 2 reading questions) with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
