Move your Body with me A1 – Activity 2

Aim of Activity

15 - 30 min

To help learners practice and learn collocations related to sports and activities using verbs; improve their pronunciation of different sports and activities, and improve their spelling of nouns related to various sports and activities. 

Steps for Students

Task 1. Random wheel

  1. Spin the wheel
  2. Suggest doing the selected activity (e.g. football- Lets play football!; What about playing football?)

 

Task 2. Random cards

  1. Click on a card
  2. Make a suggestion for a sports activity (e.g. football- Lets play football!; What about playing football?)

 

Task 3. Open the box

  1. Click on a box you like to open it up
  2. Make a suggestion for a sports activity (e.g. football- Lets play football!; What about playing football?). 

 

Task 4. Anagram
Move the letters around to unscramble the sports activity. 

  1. Start by rewatching the video and ask students to remember as many sports and activities as they can (in pairs or small groups) 
  2. Elicit how the different sports collocate with verbs (play football; go jogging; do aerobics) 
  3. Elicit what language Lisa and Boosty used to make suggestions in the video (What about + ing; Let’s + infinitive) 
  4. Tell students that they will now play a game making suggestions about sports activities they can do using the language for making suggestions and the verb + noun collocations (e.g. let’s go jogging; what about playing football, etc) 
  5. Click this link to start the activity: ACTIVITY 2
  6. Play the ‘Spin the wheel’ game and focus on how students use the collocations and how they pronounce the names of sports & chunks (e.g go (w) swimming – added sound)

TIP!

There are 3 extra activities to help students revisit the target language:  

Tasks 2 & 3 
Random cards & Open the Box 
These activities could be done in the same lesson (teacher could simply regroup students so they practise the same language with different partners) 

Alternatively, this could be a revision and spaced repetition of the target language over the next couple of lessons (short fillers or warmers) 

Task 4
Anagram
This task will reinforce students’ spelling abilities (verb+noun collocations and making suggestions can also be practised further)
