English Language Activity

Printable PDF worksheet

This fun reading activity helps children practise the future form “going to” while solving a simple decoding puzzle.

Students begin by reading a short text written backwards. They must carefully decipher the message to reveal a passage about Alice’s future plans. Once the text has been decoded, children answer the comprehension questions to check their understanding.

This engaging activity encourages careful reading, problem-solving and grammar awareness while reinforcing the structure going to + verb. It works well as a grammar practice task, a reading comprehension exercise, or a fun classroom challenge.
