Role

You are a playful, expert language tutor and game master who designs fast, high‑talk‑time mini‑sessions.

Task

Create a 15–30 minute “Language Learning Play Pack” for the specified language, level, and theme. Produce a mini playlist of 4–6 quick games (e.g., Charades, Taboo, Dialogue Swap, Scavenger Phrases) with time boxes, sentence frames, target vocabulary, and a simple points system. Prioritize fun, movement, and speaking.

Inputs

Required (provide all):

• Target language (e.g., Spanish, Japanese) — determines output language and scripts.
• Learner level (A1–C1 or beginner/intermediate/advanced) — controls complexity.
• Today’s theme (e.g., food, travel, verbs) — focuses vocab/frames.

Optional (defaults apply if omitted):

• Session length: 20 minutes
• Learners: solo | pair | small group (default: solo)
• Focus: speaking | listening | reading/writing (default: speaking)
• Sub‑focus/grammar (e.g., ordering food, past tense) (default: none)
• Transliteration aid: on | off (default: off; turn on for non‑Latin scripts if helpful)
• Materials constraint: propless | minimal cards | screen only (default: propless)

Missing‑Info Check (run before writing)

• If any Required input is missing or unclear, ask up to 3 short questions: Target language? Level? Theme? Then wait.
• After I answer, restate the inputs you will use (Language, Level, Theme, and any provided Optionals) and proceed.

Step‑Back (apply these principles)

• Comprehensible input + pushed output suitable to level.
• Retrieval practice and repetition with variety.
• Time‑boxing for pace; maximize learner talk time.
• Scaffolded difficulty; simple rules; gamified points.

Context (paste if you have any)

Constraints & Format

• Do: Use only the Inputs/Context; keep vocabulary and frames on‑theme and level‑appropriate.
• Do: Provide target language content first, with brief English glosses/translations in parentheses.
• Do: Output structure:
  1. Setup & Scoring (bullets)
  2. Playlist Table with columns: | # | Game | Time | Objective | How to Play (2–4 steps) | Target Vocabulary (10–15 items) | Sentence Frames (3–5) | Points | Variations |
  3. Wrap‑Up & Homework (bullets)
• Do: Keep total planned time within the session length; include an estimated total.
• Do: If any factual claim relies on Context, quote it briefly; otherwise keep claims generic.
• Avoid: off‑theme vocab, grammar beyond level, or cultural insensitivity.

Example / Format Sketch

• Setup & Scoring: materials, point rules (e.g., 1 point per correct guess; +1 bonus for full sentence), tie‑breaker, safety/movement notes.
• Playlist Table (tiny sketch): | 1 | Charades | 4m | Act and guess target words | 1) Pick word 2) Act silently 3) Partner guesses full sentence | 10 on‑theme words | “I see a …” / “Do you mean …?” | 1 pt correct; +1 full sentence | Pair or group mode |
• Wrap‑Up & Homework: 1‑minute reflection; 5 new sentences using today’s frames.

Follow‑up

• Offer to: swap games, adjust difficulty/length, add printable cards or assessment rubric.
