🧹 Tidy Up!
A fully interactive Pre-A1 vocabulary lesson designed for young learners aged 6–10. Students meet 10 tidying and cleaning words (tidy, messy, sweep, broom, wipe, cloth, shelf, bin, basket, pick up) through clickable emoji cards with text-to-speech pronunciation. Simple imperative patterns ('Sweep the floor', 'Put your toys in the box') and describing words (tidy, messy, dirty, clean) are introduced. A short story called 'Leo's Messy Room' provides natural reading practice at genuine Pre-A1 level. Interactive activities include flip flashcards, an emoji-to-word matching game, 8 fill-in-the-blank sentences, speaking prompts for pair work, a guided writing task, and an 8-question quiz with progress tracking and instant feedback.
