Need to know

​​Before starting to work in this theme, check with a classmate how much you know about hobbies and sports in English already.
To do so work through the assignments in this section.
You start with the definitions of 'hobby' and 'sport', by searching them on simple Wikipedia .

Assignment 2: Sports-Kim's game

You are going to look at a list of sports.
Together with a partner you are going to try to remember as many as you can! Which group remembers most sports in your class?

Procedure:

  1. Find a classmate to work with.
  2. Make sure you have a timer.
  3. Open the list of sports and have a look at it for exactly one minute.
  4. Together with your partner, write down as many sports as you remember from the list you studied.
  5. Swap lists with another pair. Check each other's answers (are the sports in the list? are they spelled correctly?). Who remembers most sports?

Assignment 3: Hobbies – Guessing game

You are going to read about hobbies!
Go to simple.wikipedia.org and read the text.
Then, take a hobby in mind.
Your partner asks you yes/no questions to find out what hobby you have in mind. Then you guess the hobby your partner has in mind.

Tip:
The more unusual the hobby you have in mind is, the more difficult it is for your classmate to guess!
