A2 Travel Discussion Questions for Pre-Teens (10-12)

Ten- to twelve-year-olds at A2 are full of enthusiasm about places they want to visit but limited in how they express it. They know they want to go to Japan, but they can only say 'because anime.' These 50 questions channel that enthusiasm into spoken English by asking about holiday memories, dream trips, and travel preferences in language that A2 pre-teens can manage. The questions are concrete and personal, drawing on experiences that every 10-12 year old has: family trips, school excursions, visiting grandparents, and seeing new places.

The vocabulary gives pre-teens the specific words they are missing. Instead of 'we went on a trip,' they can say 'we went on an excursion.' Instead of 'the place was old,' they can say 'the building was a historical landmark.' Words like 'suitcase,' 'boarding pass,' 'souvenir,' and 'tourist' are practical, visual, and immediately usable in class discussions.

Channeling pre-teen enthusiasm into English

Pre-teens at A2 respond well to travel questions when they can connect them to something visual. Before a discussion, show a photo of a famous landmark or a map with destinations marked. The visual prompt activates relevant vocabulary and gives students a concrete reference point. Then the discussion question builds on what they have just seen.

Visual, concrete travel words

For A2 pre-teens in after-school English programmes or language academies, travel questions offer a welcome change from textbook topics. A 10-minute pair discussion about holidays at the start of a lesson energises the class and puts students in an English-speaking mindset before moving to grammar or reading work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All questions focus on family travel, school trips, dream destinations, and simple cultural comparisons. Nothing references independent adult travel, budgeting, or sensitive topics.
A2 assumes students can form basic sentences and use simple past tense. If your students cannot do this yet, they may be at A1. YapYapGo's question banks start at A2, so build basic sentence skills first before using these questions.
For A2 pre-teens, 1-2 minutes per question works well. Shorter turns maintain energy and prevent frustration. Use YapYapGo's timer to keep discussions moving.
