Ten Faces. Ten Questions. How Much Can You Catch?

The teacher taps a face. Nathan asks a question. The whole class leans in.

There are no answer choices and no sentence to read first. There is just a question in English and a chance to answer it. That is the heart of the 10 Question Challenge, and we have rebuilt it from the ground up. Five topic editions are now live: Food, Health and Wellness, Work and Career, Technology and the Future, and Travel and Exploration. Everything on screen is bigger, clearer, and easy to follow from the back row.

Ten People Waiting to Talk

Each edition opens on a grid of ten faces, each with a name. Tap a face and that person asks a question out loud. Students listen and try to answer. Keep the question text hidden to test their ears, or reveal it with one tap to help them connect the sounds to the words.

Then the teacher decides what counts. Did the student understand and answer well? Press the giant Got it button. Did the question slip past them? Press Not yet. Each face turns green or red, and the grid fills in as the round goes on.

Three Levels, Thirty Questions

Every edition holds thirty questions across three levels, which adds up to 150 questions across the five topics. Beginner covers everyday questions like "Do you drink coffee or tea?" Intermediate moves into real conversation. Advanced opens deeper discussion, the kind of question that turns a quick answer into a two-minute opinion. The topic stays familiar while the challenge grows, so a class can return to the same theme when students are ready to say more.

A Second Chance Built In

After all ten questions, the results screen shows the score and offers a Redo button for every question marked Not yet. Students hear only the ones they missed. This is often the best moment of the activity. The room gets quieter, attention sharpens, and the second attempt usually lands.

From Listening to Speaking

The See All 10 Questions screen puts every question on one large page, each with its own audio button. Put it on the projector and the listening game becomes a speaking game. One student plays Emma, another plays Lucas, and suddenly the class is interviewing each other about favorite meals or dream jobs. Add one rule: ask one more question about your partner's answer. Now students have to listen closely enough to decide what comes next.

Worksheets for Every Level

Each edition comes with a printable two-page worksheet for all three levels. In Part A, students write the question they hear, then their own full answer with a reason or an example. In Part B, they choose three questions to ask a partner and write down what that partner says. Print it blank for a real listening challenge, or with the questions shown for extra support.

The Food edition is free for everyone, with no login needed. Health and Wellness, Work and Career, Technology and the Future, and Travel and Exploration are available to subscribers. Explore all five editions of the 10 Question Challenge. Pick a topic, tap the first face, and see how many questions your students catch on the first try.
