What fun activities can I do with my SO to help them practice their second language?

My partner is currently living in Europe to study English. We both communicate in English because it's our only shared language, but I would like to find some activities that help her practice her English in an more active manner than watching a movie with subtitles, or talking about random stuff. Something that will expose her to different contexts and vocabulary, while being fun and not feeling like classroom games. She's already at a ~B1 level.

If any of you have had a similar experience, what are some of the best recommendations you would have for others?

Here are some of the ideas I've already thought of:

- Video games: something co-op like It Takes Two or A Way Out, or that you can still play together like Telltale's TWD series (which is like a dialogue-heavy interactive movie).

- Board games: guess who, 20 questions, anything two people can play together and that involves conversation. I would like to find something like Cards Against Humanity but tailored for 2 players. Any specific recommendations are welcome.

- Trying out new challenging cooking recipes together, which is good for incentivizing conversation about both the food and other general topics.

- Do some of those online questionnaires for couples, which basically give you a list of conversation topics.

- Escape Rooms: we aren't a big fan of this one but maybe others might enjoy the suggestion.

Anything else? Thanks!
