A2 Entertainment Discussion Questions for Pre-Teens (10-12)
Ten- to twelve-year-olds live in an entertainment-saturated world: cartoons, games, YouTube, music, and books compete for their attention constantly. These 50 questions ask about that world in A2 English: 'What is your favourite cartoon?' 'Do you like reading or watching videos more?' 'What game are you playing right now?' Pre-teens are eager to discuss their entertainment world if someone asks the right questions in language they can handle.
The vocabulary is drawn from pre-teens' daily entertainment: 'cartoon,' 'game,' 'character,' 'funny,' 'exciting,' and 'boring.' These are words children use in their first language daily and need in English to describe the content they consume.
Their entertainment world in English
A2 pre-teens discussing entertainment produce enthusiastic English when questions let them be the expert. 'Tell your partner about a game you love' reverses the typical classroom dynamic where the teacher holds the knowledge.
Words for what they watch and play
Entertainment questions make excellent warm-up activities for 10-12 year old classes. A 3-minute pair discussion about cartoons or games energises the room before the main lesson.
