WORKSHEET
1. Suggested Use
Technology and innovation focus, followed by closed practice B1+-level vocabulary and grammar activities.
2. Suggested Activities
A. Project-based learning
Students work in small groups to design a new area or experience to add to the House of Hype from the video. Have them include the name of the area or attraction, its theme (e.g. fashion, gaming, nature, space, adventure), one AI or digital feature (e.g. voice design, virtual reality, holograms, smart wearables), how visitors interact with it and why it’s special or exclusive. They present their idea as a poster, short video pitch, or spoken presentation.
B. Mediation task: Processing text (+ note taking)
Have students imagine that they are going to visit the House of Hype and need to explain to their friend or family member what it is, before they agree to go with them. Have students watch the video again and make notes of the most important ideas to share. You could also give them a copy of the videoscript. Have students work in pairs to take it in turns to explain the House of Hype and persuade their partner to attend with them.
C. Pronunciation task: Word stress and rhythm in compound nouns & adjectives
Have students identify compound nouns and adjectives from the script, e.g. artificial intelligence, theme park, gaming station, social media. Students underline the stressed syllable in each compound. Model the rhythm by clapping to show the stress pattern. Have students create their own sentences using the words and practise the stress.

TRANSCRIPT
Digital Amusement Park
NARRATOR:
This is the House of Hype, an exciting new place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It brings together technology, artificial intelligence, and theme park fun—all under one roof. There are many different areas to explore. Visitors can walk through bright cities, play high-tech games, go shopping, and even win prizes. One interesting place is the digital garden, where the grass lights up in different colours.
There are also unique AI experiences. In the Creator Zone, visitors can design their own digital shoes just by using their voice. With so many creative spaces, House of Hype is a great place to take photos and make social media content. It’s also a popular place with gamers. There are around 50 gaming stations with exciting arcade and virtual games. In the Hyper K area, visitors can try interactive games. These are games where players feel like they are inside the game, moving and interacting instead of just watching a screen.
SOUNDBITE - Abdulrahman Abdulwahid:
“Hyper K is all about games. It’s about interactive games you can play with your body here. That's what's most special about Hyper K. Hyper K is exclusively for House of Hype. It's games based on AI. You can play individually and you can play with your friends too, here.”
NARRATOR:
Some of the arcade games are exclusive, which means you can only play them here. Visitors say this is what makes House of Hype really special.
SOUNDBITE - Taim Odeh:
“Being exclusive is really nice. It gives, it gives the place, a huge advantage over other places.”
NARRATOR:
Whether you love games, fashion, or social media, there’s something for everyone at House of Hype.
