Hello, Cool English family! š
This week, we are incredibly excited to bring you three brand-new editions of one of our most popular games: Survive the Menu!Ā š
In this game, your students step into a real-life restaurant scenario. Their mission? Order one item from each part of the menu to complete a full meal. But thereās a catchāthey only have 5 lives! Every vocabulary mistake costs a life. Can they survive the order, or will they leave hungry? š
š“Ā Three New Ways to Play
Weāve revamped the experience with three different dining styles to help students practice varied levels of restaurant English:
Texas Roadhouse (Casual Dining):Ā Perfect for learning "roadhouse" favorites and classic American steakhouse vocabulary. š„©
Pei Wei Asian Kitchen (Fast Casual):Ā A great way to explore Asian-inspired dishes, ingredients like "water chestnuts," and cooking styles like "wok-tossed." š„¢
McDonaldās (Fast Food):Ā The ultimate global classic! Ideal for practicing quick ordering and familiar menu items. š„¤
šĀ Whatās New? (We Need Your Feedback!)
Weāve updated the way students learn vocabulary within the game, and we want to know what you think!
Texas Roadhouse & Pei Wei:Ā These versions use text descriptions with emojisĀ to define words. šāØ
McDonaldās: This version uses visual images onlyĀ for definitions. It also features a "Listen to Description"Ā button to help students with native-like pronunciation! š§
Which style do your students prefer?Ā Do they like the text + emoji combo, or do they learn better with pure images? Let us know!
šĀ More Than Just a Game
Weāve designed these activities to be full lesson solutions:
The Receipt:Ā When students win, they get a realistic receipt with a total (including tax!). This is a perfect jumping-off point for roleplay activitiesĀ or math practice. š°
PDF Worksheets:Ā Every edition comes with a downloadable PDF. These include the full menus and extra review activities for homework or offline practice. š
Progress Tracking: Students can see their progress as they unlock each category (Appetizers, Entrées, etc.).
