📝 Explorers: Listening Games

A fully interactive A2.2 Exam Taster that keeps everything exam-shaped but game-framed. Students warm up with four questions about staying calm and finding key words, then study a two-box Calm Listening Toolkit: Two Listening Games (listen-and-colour and name-matching, with a strategy formula — look first, listen for key words, you hear it twice, stay calm) and an Understand the Instructions table (colour, match, tick, circle, draw). Ten key words (listen, colour, match, tick, circle, instructions, carefully, calm, clue, twice) appear in a scrollable table with A2 definitions, and six become review flashcards. Because this is a listening lesson, part 4 is a listening task written as text: a calm scene where Ms. Okafor runs the games, the team hears instructions like 'Colour the big kite red' and 'Match Leo to the boy with the football', and learns to listen for the clue word 'big' — with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice offers eight fill-in-the-blank items on the game words and strategies with live validation, hints and a score. Speaking lets pairs take turns as the game leader giving instructions, with a model dialogue. The writing task is the homework — write 3-4 clear instructions for a home listening game (30-50 words) with a calm tip, a four-point checklist, live word counter and auto-save. A final eight-question quiz mixes task formats, calm strategies and two comprehension questions about the reading, with progress bar, explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
