Why this lesson works
The lesson follows a clear progression: Act out sports in a warm-up game, survey classmates on sports they're good at, make a Sport Star Card and race to a sport station. Teachers can open the materials and start immediately, while students move from supported vocabulary practice to purposeful spoken English.
