BAFFLE ME KIDS – PRESENT SIMPLE

The Present Simple is one of the most important tenses in English, as it allows children to talk about what they know best: everyday activities, interests, routines, favourite things and habits. It is precisely through such simple statements that children develop their first sense of ease in communication.

BAFFLE ME KIDS – PRESENT SIMPLE turns learning this tense into a dynamic game full of questions, answers and quick reactions. Children not only learn the rules, but put them into practice straight away — they speak, listen, read and try to win the round. As a result, English ceases to be a tedious exercise and begins to be associated with action, emotions and fun.

The game helps to reinforce the structures needed to talk about everyday life: what a child does, what they like, where they go, what they play, how they spend their time or what their habits are. Regular repetition of these structures in short, engaging rounds means that children begin to use the Present Simple with increasing confidence and more naturally.

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, the task is to create questions for the given answers, which develops resourcefulness, linguistic reflexes and the ability to construct sentences independently.

BAFFLE ME KIDS – PRESENT SIMPLE is ideal for use in classes with children, private tuition, lessons at a language school, at home with a parent, or as a group game for children learning English.

It’s a great way for a child to get to grips with one of the most commonly used tenses in English without any stress or monotony. Here, learning happens naturally — through conversation, play and the satisfaction of getting answers right.
