BAFFLE ME KIDS – CAN

Children learn a language best when they don’t feel they ‘have to learn’. They need movement, excitement, quick reactions and a clear goal — something more than just another exercise from a textbook.

BAFFLE ME KIDS – CAN turns learning the modal verb ‘can’ into a dynamic game in which children ask questions, answer, listen to other players and try to act faster than their opponents. This makes English a natural tool for play, rather than a stressful task to be completed.

The game helps children practise one of the most practical structures at the early stage of learning. Using ‘can’, they can talk about what they can and cannot do, what someone else might do, or what they might ask in a simple conversation. This is language that quickly comes in handy in everyday communication, which is why it’s worth reinforcing it actively and regularly.

In the ‘BAFFLE ME’ variant, players compete against each other by asking questions at a rapid pace to provoke a wrong answer and eliminate their opponent from the game. In the ASK ME variant, children come up with questions to match the given answers, and every correct response brings them closer to victory. This form of play naturally encourages speaking, listening and quick thinking in English.

BAFFLE ME KIDS – CAN is ideal for use in children’s classes, private tuition, language school lessons, and at home — when a parent wants to help their child practise English in a light-hearted, engaging and positive way.

It’s a great way to ensure that your child not only learns the ‘can’ structure, but also starts to actually use it — more freely, more confidently and with a smile.
