🔮 Explorers: Plan Questions
A fully interactive A2.1 Kids grammar-and-speaking lesson that extends the Going-To unit into the full paradigm: questions, short answers and negatives. Children warm up as plan detectives, then study three clear blocks: Questions (move am/is/are to the front — Are you going to swim?), Negatives (add 'not' after the BE word — I'm not going to stay), and a Q&A grid matching each question to its short answer (Yes, I am / No, I'm not, and so on with isn't and aren't). Ten key words (maybe, free, busy, stay, tidy, join, together, sure, meet, plan) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards. The reading is a Plan Detectives story where Team Compass asks 'Are you going to...?' questions and uses negatives to find a day everyone is free, with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (Are/Is, not, am/is/are, isn't/aren't) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five detective prompts and a five-line model dialogue; a guided 25-45 word writing task (three going-to questions with short answers) and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz mixing questions, short answers and negatives with two reading-comprehension questions, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
