Chat Cards draws a question at a time and never repeats one until the deck is empty — with a speaker button for the pronunciation and a pass-the-turn mode so the teacher answers too.

How teachers use them

  • 1Open the lesson with one warm-up card each — the class hears English before anyone has to invent a sentence.
  • 2Keep a printed pile face down on the table. A child who finishes early takes a card and asks you.
  • 3For very shy students, start with This or that: the answer is one word, and the first word is always the hardest.
