Contents: 100 speaking cards, 4 joker cards, instructions

HOMENGLISH Sport& Free Time is an unusual card game for having conversations in English about ideas for spending free time and sports activities that we like to do or which we only watch and support. Should I sign up for a gym? Why did our team lose? I feel like lazing on the couch today! These and many other topics arouse emotions and provoke stormy discussions.

On the cards, you will find 100 topics for discussion and as many as 500 reactions and ready-made phrases that players choose for conversations. Each time the conversation is different, unpredictable and unique. Interlocutors decide whether they want to respond kindly, indifferently or maliciously. Joker cards help you get rid of your cards faster and win the round. However, there is a condition: you must choose phrases logically to fit the context. Otherwise, the chance is lost.

Example conversation topics:

”Will you take part in the marathon this weekend?.” “We’ve lost again!” „Susie’s boyfriend is a tennis player.”  „You’re always watching television – It’s so irritating!” and 96 more…

Example Responses:

„I can’t stand this guy!”, “Cheer me up first” ”Well, I wouldn’t call that swimming” „O! Come on!” „What an original hobby! and 495 more…

"There are plenty of reasons why I love HomEnglish. The most important advantage of the series is that the participants of each game absorb a vast amount of natural expressions without feeling at all that they are learning. This practice is beneficial as students usually avoid participating in a conversation because they don't know enough words to express their thoughts or feel too shy to speak in English. The HomEnglish game aims to create an opportunity to practice conversations about everyday topics we are familiar with and learn to give spontaneous answers. Students start by reading the phrases on the cards and will soon be able to use them in conversations without difficulty. As we know - repetition is the mother of knowledge and skill."
