English with Games and Activities 2 is aimed at learners of varying age groups who are learning English as a foreign language, and are at level A2-B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The activities in the book are based on a functional communicative approach which helps learners to gradually acquire new vocabulary. There are 14 themed units introducing everyday vocabulary, followed by practice activities which can be done using the book or in digital format.
Each unit opens with the presentation of about 20 words. Pictures and audio recordings are used to facilitate comprehension and language acquisition. The words are then contextualised in a dialogue and practised in the following pages through graded games and activities, such as crosswords, word searches, anagrams and matching exercises. At the end of each unit there is a gap fill activity based on an audio recording, as well as a lexical map. Both these activities allow learners to gauge how much new vocabulary they have learned. The unit ends with a free production writing activity.
The appendix contains transcriptions and solutions to all the activities, so learners can check their answers autonomously. This means that it is ideal for self-learning.
The book is part of the English with Games and Activities series. There are 3 levels based on the CEFR: A1-A2, A2-B1, B1-B2.

Charles: When I was a child I wanted to be a firefighter… what about you, Lisa?
Lisa: I wanted to be a writer.
Charles: Did you succeed?
Lisa: No, I’m a photographer! What about you Charles? What do you do?
Charles: Well, I changed my mind and I decided to become a pilot… I wanted to travel the world!
Lisa: Wow! Great choice!
Charles: But being a pilot is complicated, so I became a singer!
Lisa: To travel the world on tour. Good idea!
Charles: The problem is I can’t sing, so I went on tour as a carpenter, to build the stage!
Lisa: So, you were really an architect!
Charles: Don’t make fun of me… once I was a dressmaker and hairdresser for the band too!
Lisa: You should have become a writer. You could have written their songs.
Charles: I’m not good at writing. I was a translator when we were abroad… but I didn’t like it.
