Conversation Cards - Let's talk - GRAMMAR QUESTS

Grammar is boring?! No way! With our “Grammar Quests” it is the most exciting, epic adventure you can imagine! In these 48 cards, you will find:

6 grammar quests, each featuring different grammatical structures

gamified exercises that combine grammar with reading, listening and speaking

adventures full of heroic deeds, stolen treasures, and mysterious artefacts

clever fun because grammar “is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places” (J.R.R. Tolkien) but “it is the journey that matters, not how fast you arrive at the destination” (George R. R. Martin).

The cards are for B1 students and above / one-to-one lessons / pairwork / groupwork or self-study.

How to use “Grammar Quests”:

The “Grammar Quests” set consists of 48 cards that contain 6 quests of 8 cards each. Each quest can be used with students at level B1 and above.

The idea behind the quests is to give students a chance to practise grammar in a gamified context, where correctly implementing grammatical rules will result in the students having an adventure during which they go on a journey to reclaim a stolen treasure. During the quest, the students do various exercises, and coming up with the correct answers is rewarded with artefacts that will ultimately allow them to find the treasure.

During the quests, the students will need to make notes and use their phones to scan QR codes that will take them to various recordings and Google Forms.

The format of each quest in the set is based on the classic “The Hero’s Journey”, which is a metaphor behind most stories in folklore, literature, cinema and games. The original metaphor contains 12 stages of the journey. However, in this set, the quests are limited to 8 main stages, each of which is presented on one card.
