The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Change the places around Kai’s park”, learners fix a realistic scene and see the effect of each choice. In “Kai at the youth club”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “Kai’s contexts”; and “Responding to the park, not just Kai”.
