Question 24

What is the Speaking Board Game and how do I use it?

Accepted Answer

The Speaking Board Game is an interactive multiplayer game designed to make English speaking practice fun and engaging. Accessible from the Speaking section (look for the colourful banner at the top of the page), it features a clean grid board with 50 podcast-based speaking prompts drawn from English Matura with JB episodes.

How to play:
1. Add your players — you can have up to 20 unique, colour-coded player pins.
2. Each turn, the current player clicks the animated dice (which rolls 1–6) to move around the board loop.
3. When you land on a question tile, a modal pops up with a speaking prompt. Click 'Show Explanation Card' to read the background from the corresponding podcast episode — perfect if you need inspiration or context before answering.
4. Answer the question aloud (this is speaking practice, after all!), then close the modal.
5. The first player to reach the Finish tile wins and triggers a celebratory confetti animation.

Bounce rule: If you are close to Finish and roll a number that would overshoot it, you bounce back the extra steps — so you must land exactly on Finish to win.

All game state is handled entirely in your browser, so no internet connection is required once the page is loaded. It is ideal for classroom use, study circles, or practising with friends.
