Do you want to…

Is it not also valid to ask, “Ça te dire…?” In place of “Est-ce que tu veux..?”

Bonjour Michael,

The expression -

" Ça te dit "

is a great one to know but it's casual like 'How about?' 'Are you up for it?' or 'do you fancy' and too idiomatic for an A1 exercise.

Bonne Continuation !

Is "Ça te dirait" any less informal?

Bonjour Anne,

I would say that would be the difference between 'Do you fancy doing ...' and 'Would you fancy doing ...', but it is a good contribution to the discussion.
