The partner teachers will prepare the topic and the necessary material beforehand and our students will play together with riddles, word games, crosswords, quizzes, etc. in an online team challenge in which they have to practice and reinforce the grammar functions and the lexicon they have learnt.
Each national team will mark on a wall chart the points gained during every match and a project website will be created in order to publish the solutions of the games and the team ranking. At the end of the competition, the team with the highest score will be awarded a prize in an official online ceremony. hide
- Expected results: Improve the use of the English language and the students' knowledge of the culture and traditions of different European countries.
