These are the questions about sports we were practicing yesterday. It was our last lesson on this topic.

What's your favorite sport?
What do you wear (when you practice it?)
Where do you play...?
When did you start practicing...?
How often do you play... ( or do, or go)
How many players are there in a (football, basketball,etc.) team?
What position do you play? (team sports)
What is the aim of the game?

Students asked each other those questions.

We also played a memory game. Students had to match sports with equipment or clothes you wear when you practice it.

We listened to a conversation about favorite sports and then students read it and role played it. I was impressed with how well they did it.

Homework
This time you must finish your writing about your favorite sport. This is the model for team sports:

In the season, we play a match every Saturday at the ice rink. I play in goal. It's the best position. There are six players in a team. It's a very fast game. The puck slides accross the ice very quickly when a player hits it. The aim of the game is to get the puck into the goal. The keeper and the defence try to stop it . The team with the most goals wins the match. There is always a lot of action. The play goes from one end of the rink to the other. It's and exciting game to watch and to play. 

For swimmers you can say: which style you are good at:: freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke. 
You can say what the aim of swimming is in a competition. (Swim faster, be the first one to arrive). How many meters you swim.

I am very good at freestyle but I can swim backstroke and breaststroke too. I am a little slow at backstroke. In a competition the aim is to swim faster than the other swimmers. The swimming pool is 25 meters long. I usually swim 30 laps: that is 750 meters. Swimming is fun and relaxing. It is a very popular sport. 

Yesterday we made a list of vocabulary. On one hand we had the names of sports. On the other, equipment, that is, things we use to practice a sport.

We reviewed the Present Simple form, which we use for things we do regularly, every day, sometimes, often, always or never.
Remember
I play, you play, he/she/it plays, we play, you play, they play.

For questions and negative sentences we use an auxiliary, the verb to do: I do, you do, he/she/it does, we do, you do, they do.
Questions: do I play...?, do you play...? does he/she/it play? do we play? do you play? do they play? As you can see, the only case that is different is when we do the singular 3rd person when we use does, the singular 3rd person of do.

Negative sentences: we use the same auxiliary verb as for questions, that is: I don't play, you don't play, he/she/it doesn't play, we don't play, you don't play, they don't play.

We practiced asking and answering questions about sports in the present simple.
Then we read aloud a text:  My Favorite Sport. Students had to find words they didn't understand and the teacher explained those words.

Homework: write about your favorite sport. Follow this model.

I want to tell you about my favorite sport, ice hockey. The photograph shows me- in goal. My father is the manager of a team. He bought me a stick, gloves, a helmet and stakes. I started to play when I was 5 years old. I am now in the junior team.I train twice a week.

Get a photograph of you practicing the sport ( or make a drawing).
Say what equipment you use and who bought it for you.
Say how old were you when you started to play or practice that sport.
Say if you have a team.
Say how often you train: once a week, twice a week, 3 times a week?

Hello again. Remember I expect you ALL to do last week's homework.

  

In our lesson last week we started saying parts of the body (which you should already know perfectly well, but couldn't remember many). Here they are: head, hair, face, neck, back, arms, chest, stomach, legs, hands, fingers, 1 foot, 2 feet, toes, knees, elbows, shoulders. I expect you to know all those words for next day.

Then, we continue with our topic, which is sports. We are learning about equipment: things we use for a particular sport; like a racket, a bat, a club, a stick and a disk, skis, a football, a bicycle, roller skates, a skate board, a surfing board, etc.

What we need to wear to practice that sport, like a helmet, a hat, a swimming cap, gloves,riding boots and a riding hat,  goggles (for swimming or for skiing).

The places where we can practice the sports: a  football field, a tennis court, a basketball court, a track, a swimming pool, a mountain slope, rink.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANY OF THOSE WORDS, LOOK THEM UP IN A DICTIONARY.

In our class each student had to think of a sport and the other ones had to ask the questions underneath.

Questions you need to understand and be able to make:

What do you use to play _______(for example: tennis)?

What do you wear to _________(Example: ride a horse)?

Where do you play ( or do, or go)_________ (example: basketball)?

New Homework Write  those questions about 3 different sports and the answers too.

DON'T FORGET!

Yesterday we had a new student in the group. Welcome Javi! Ana, on the other hand, has moved to a higher level.

We started a new unit on Sport. Students learned about sports that we:

PLAY with a ball: tennis, baseball, basketball, golf, ice hockey, table tennis, football or soccer (that's how they call it in US), volleyball.

DO: judo, exercise, aerobics, gymnastics.

GO: swimming, skiing, running, snowboarding, windsurfing, cycling.

And about the equipment we use: a bat, a club, a racket, a bat or puddle (for table tennis),

Students asked each other: What do you use to play (tennis)? And answer: I use (a racket)

They also learned to ask How often do you play...? and answer: once a week, twice a week, three , four, five (and so on) a week, everyday, never.

We listened to a recording of 5 boys and girls who talked about the sports they enjoyed and how often they practiced them. Students had to complete two exercises to show their comprehension. One of the girls said she loved foorball but she never played football, she only watched it on TV.

Students completed a crosswords game about sports and then practiced the definitions. They did very well.
