📝 Explorers: Speaking Cards
A fully interactive A2.2 Kids Exam Taster that makes Flyers-style speaking feel like a friendly Explorer Club game. After four warm-up prompts, students learn three speaking moves in a strategy toolkit: Move 1 Spot the Differences (comparing two pictures with 'In my picture there is / there are... but in your picture...' plus comparing words), Move 2 Tell the Story (narrating picture cards with the first / then / after that / in the end spine and recycled past continuous), and Move 3 Full-Sentence Answers (a question-and-answer table showing how to reply to personal questions in whole sentences, plus a breathe-smile-full-sentence confidence ritual). Ten speaking-task words (difference, compare, describe, picture, character, full sentence, question, answer, confident, calm) appear in a scrollable table and six become review flashcards. The reading is a Team Compass Master File in which Zeynep, Leo, Mia and Kofi practise all three moves, with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 fill-in-the-blank items on comparing language, story words and confidence vocabulary with live validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five card-game prompts and a five-line Team Compass model dialogue; a guided 30-50 word writing task answering two personal questions in full sentences with a four-point checklist and live word counter with auto-save; and an 8-question quiz mixing speaking strategy with two reading-comprehension questions, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
