Giới thiệu Game:
This is a game for practicing weather language in English. The target audience is ESL learner; although, young native speaking children may also find it useful. The main aim is to practice weather vocabulary and phrases, specifically to expose students to weather vocab such as "Sunny", weather phrases such as "In England, it will rain" and weather actions such as "When it is hot, she eats and ice cream". The hope is that by exposing students to this language, it will reinforce the language and increase their familiarity with it. A secondary aim for this game is to show students different countries and expose them to simple country name vocabulary. While country vocab is not a primary focus for this game, it is still beneficial for students to see and practice country language in English. ESL students usually have specific modules or chapters in a textbook that covers countries and customs, so I think the country names are worth of study. In terms of this specific game, weather language and countries are quite complimentary and the way the game works really requires country language to be used. Also, I really think that countries on a map of the world is something that students will find somewhat interesting and so I think it will be good for holding their attention.

The first set covers the basic weather vocab - "Sunny", "Windy" and etc. Then the remaining sets increase in difficulty to the point where the fourth set includes more obscure weather vocab such as "Forest fire" and Hurricane". Below is a list of the language used.
Set 1 - Europe Sunny, Cloudy, Windy, Snow, Lightning, Rain England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Holland, Portugal, Ireland, Czechia, Denmark (Lightning is prefered to thunder as the image is visual rather than auditory. Also, Czechia is prefered to The Czech Republic as it is shorter and so fits in the box.)
