individually.
 Introduce the grammatical structure of abilities (I can, I can’t) ( I like/ I don’t
like).
 Introduce vocabulary related to hobbies (play the guitar, dance, play
videogames) both in oral and written form.

During the lesson, students are expected to:
 Revise the vocabulary related to sports: football, baseball, hockey,
basketball, ice skiing, skateboard, boxing, karate, etc.

book, listen to music, etc.

Routine (5’):
We are going to post on each of the classrooms a sheet of paper colorfully
designed by us with some threads hanging where we are going to put each of
our students ‘ names ( with a clip). Every time we enter the classroom, we are
going to choose three helpers. They will have to pick up all the names and give
them to their classmates to put them on. Before we leave the classroom, they
have to give them back so they can pick them up next class.
“1, 2, 3, silence please” (make use of it whenever the teacher/pedagogical
partner sees it necessary)
Breathing activity. Since one of the classes starts after the break, we will invite
our students to stand next to their desks and imagine they have a balloon inside
their hands. They are going to inhale and when they exhale, the balloon is going
to be a little bit bigger than before. We are going to repeat this procedure three
times and at the end, we will imaginary pop the balloon.
Warm up: (5’)
Ask questions to activate vocabulary from the previous class.
Do you remember any of the sports we mentioned last class? Which ones?
What sports can/ can’t you practice?
What is the most popular sport in the world? Do you like/ practice it?
Do you know anyone famous who plays/does that sport?
Do you like to watch sports on TV? Why/ why not?
Did you watch the Olympic Games on TV? When was it? Where was it
located? Did you like it? Why / why not? Did you watch the PARALYMPIC
games?
Body of the class:
ACTIVITY 1: (10’)
We will divide the board into two columns: Olympic sports and Extreme sports.
We will give each of our students a flashcard to stick on the board wherever
they think suitable.
Then, a photocopy with the right answers will be provided to check.

ACTIVITY 2: (5’)
In the same photocopy, students have incomplete words in which they will have
to add the needed vowels in order to form different sports.

What do you do in your free time?
Example: Flor can dance really well but I can’t dance.
