🚦 Explorers: Our Place, Our Rules
A fully interactive A2.1 Kids speaking lesson from the Explorer Club world where children become rule-makers: they design a place, write five rules and signs, and present it to the class. Students start with four warm-up questions about places and rules, then study a rule-maker toolkit in three blocks: making rules with must / mustn't, giving and refusing permission (Can I…? — Of course / Sorry, you can't), and a place-idea table with model rules for a pool, zoo, cinema and library. Ten key words (place, rule, sign, visitor, quiet, careful, allowed, feed, present, welcome) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get detailed review flashcards. The magazine-style reading is a model presentation — Team Compass welcoming visitors to Compass Pool and reading its five rules — with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (must, mustn't, can't, course and lesson words) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a richer speaking section with five design-and-present prompts and a six-line model dialogue with visitor questions; a guided 25-45 word writing task with a four-point checklist (welcome, must rules, mustn't rules, a can rule); and an 8-question multiple-choice quiz with two reading-comprehension questions, a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
