This is a collection of digital activities and printable worksheets for the Italian curriculum, focusing on how people travel (for example, 'vado a piedi', 'in auto', 'in tram', 'in treno'), means of transport ('prendo il ...') and how to ask when a train leaves, using the 24-hour clock. It introduces the core questions 'Come ci vai?' and 'Come vai?', and consolidates the use of the irregular verb 'andare' in context. Translations and solutions are provided, as well as hints for playing some games.
