Point & Talk – In the Kitchen
Practise English vocabulary and speaking skills with this printable board game featuring a detailed kitchen picture.
Players explore the picture and complete different speaking challenges as they move around the board. They name kitchen objects, describe what they see, explain what objects are used for, ask questions and make sentences in English.
