Sports Lesson Icebraker

Hello everyone!

On Friday I will have a demo lesson for a very famous school and my topic is sports. I should teach this lesson to 5th graders. I need a great idea for an icebraker and an amazing ending for the lesson so I can make a good impression there and hopefully, get the job Wink

Thank you so much for your suggestions and ideas!

Here are some ideas how to start:

1) two teams, match the country to its sport (that �s if your students know them)

2) two teams, give them the names of the tools or flashcards and have them guess the name of the sport that uses those tools; a similar activity could be guessing a sport with a help of a card with a clue (e.g. clue:to do this sport you need goggles and a pool, answer - swimming)

3) make a set of anagrams of the sports they know and have them compete at guessing them

(e.g. imsngmiw, loaftlbo, xob, sinetn, etc.)

... maybe not that fancy but can be enjoyed by students.

As to ending a lesson, why not do it with a song? perhaps something like "we �re the champions" (btw there �s a sponge bob version and a crazy frog version on YouTube:) or "the waving flag"...

Hi!
Try esl-galaxy.com or autoenglish.org. I �m sure you �ll find something that might be useful for you. I have some printables that I �ve dowloaded from above mentioned sites. I can send you via e-mail if you wish! By the way, you can use the printable uploaded by one of our esl teachers (logic puzzle 10 - sports) I think that�ll suit 5-graders. Good luck!
