To kickoff today's lesson, we are going to warm up by playing with words. Most sports have a unique vocabulary that adds to the excitement of the game. It's time to brush up on some sports-related words and phrases and add them to our word banks!
In small groups, create a list of as many sports-related words and phrases that you can think of in three minutes. Be ready to share them with the rest of the class.
Now, let's hear what each group came up with. As each group shares their list of words, write them on the board. This will form our class word bank.
Let's take a look at the words we've collected. Take a moment to think about the words and phrases on the list. Do you know what they all mean? We can explore this further by discussing the terminology and its significance in the world of sports.
So, today we enriched our vocabulary related to sports. Understanding the terms used in sports is an essential aspect of learning English as a second language. To retain the knowledge gained today, try incorporating the new words and phrases into your daily conversations.
In upcoming lessons, we can build on the understanding gained today by diving deeper into the world of sports. We can learn about the history of famous sports and their cultures, write stories or essays about our favorite sports, or even practice describing a game we watched.
