Instructions
- Review the list of travel words together with the teacher.
- Create your own version of Benny’s travel dictionary: draw each word, write the English word, and next to it write a short sentence using the word (for example: “Benny showed his passport at the airport”).
- Play a memory/matching game: make cards with the words on one side and the sentences/pictures on the other. Mix them up and match correct pairs.
Extension Activity
Choose five words from the list. With a partner, create a short scene where Benny uses three of them. For example: Benny shows his passport, checks into his accommodation, and handles his suitcase at the airport. Record it or perform it in class.
