Christina TP #6 (child) advice board game

Since I meet with my child tutee every monday, I always start of the lesson by asking him to tell me about his weekend. He likes to make things up but at least he's creative. If I don't stop him he will go on and on so I usually have to cut him off and get the lesson started :)

I starting off with some listening practice by reading him a story and then asking him comprehension questions. His father said he really wanted Jeffrey to be able to retain information more and pay attention.

After that, we played an ESL board game that focuses on giving advice in different situations. after you roll you would land on a question like "What should I do if my mom wants me to stop going to school." and He would have to answer my question with "You should do..." or "I think its best if you.." or one of the other options. I was impressed with his well thought out responses. He didn't just say anything, he really tried to give me good advice haha it was adorable. Often he would even ask me follow-up questions just to make sure he could give the best answer to the questions. He got really into it and wanted to finish so we spent the rest of the time playing that game.
