Students should explain their reasons.  \n▪ Take feedback from 4-5 pairs. Students should report on what their partner said.  \nStage 2 (5-10 mins): Introducing Activity 1  \n▪ Say: “I am going to tell you four things about the sport of basketball. Three of these things will be true, and one will be a lie. You have to say which is the lie.”  \n▪ The students work in the same pairs as before. Read out the following sentences.  \n(a) Basketball is a team game with 5 players on the court at a time  \n(b) A basketball game lasts an hour  \n(c) Basketball is the most popular game in Antarctica.  \n(d) Until 1929, basketball was played with a football.  \n▪ Ask each pair to vote (a),(b) ,(c) or (d) as to which of these sentences they think are true.  \n▪ Take feedback. The lie is sentence (c) . Congratulate those who got it right. You could also ask the students to say more sentences about basketball which are lies (e.g. You are allowed to kick the ball in basketball; Only two players are allowed to score; You can only bounce the ball with your right hand) .  \nStage 3 (10-25 mins): Activity 1  \n▪ Say: “You are now going to play a game in groups of 3. You will each get three true facts about a different sport.”  \n▪ Divide students into groups and give each student one of the handouts for Task 1.  \n▪ Say: “You have 4 minutes to read your text and to write a lie. After this, you will read out all four sentences (in any order) . The other 2 members of the group have to decide which sentence is the lie.”  \n▪ Students prepare and then play the game.  \n▪ Take class feedback.  \nStage 4 (25-45 mins): Activity 2  \n▪ Introduce the game of ‘top trumps’. Tell the students: “This is a card game. Each card has 4 facts about a sport on it. The object of the game is to win all the cards in the game. You win cards by choosing a category where your card ‘beats’ your opponent ( [e.g. football](e.g. football) beats rugby in ‘length’ because it lasts 90 rather than 80 minutes) . Each player should keep their cards secret when they play. If your answer is a tie, you must ask another category.”  \n▪ Check that the students understand the instructions by asking e.g. “What do you have to do? Should you show your cards to your opponent? What is a good winning strategy?” Before you play , model a game with a strong student, elicit ‘officials’ (= umpires / referees who ensure the rule are followed) and ‘national federation’ (= where a sport is popular enough in a country, there will be an official legal organisation to supervise it) .  \n▪ Students play the game. It can be played in 2s, 3s or 4s. One pack of cards should be given to each group. Monitor to check they are doing it correctly. Students should play the game several times.  \nThe lesson can be split here if required.  \nStage 5 (45-55 mins): Introducing the Topic  \n▪ In small groups, or as a class, ask students to discuss famous sports players which they know. They should say why they like this player, and what they have achieved. If necessary, prompt them with well-known sports people.  \nStage 6 (55-65 mins): Introducing Activity 3  \n▪ Ask students what happens after sport matches when they are shown on TV (i.e. they are interviewed) . Elicit from students any experiences they have of seeing these (in English or anyother language) . Ask: “What kind of questions are asked? What different emotions are shown?”  \n▪ If you","cbCaiajrd4SRt8gy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiajrd4SRt8gy","pdf",121539,"English","# Session Plan\n## Stage 1 (0-5 mins): Introducing the Topic\n## Stage 2 (5-10 mins): Introducing Activity 1\n## Stage 3 (10-25 mins): Activity 1\n## Stage 4 (25-45 mins): Activity 2\n## Stage 5 (45-55 mins): Introducing the Topic\n## Stage 6 (55-65 mins): Introducing Activity 3\n## Stage 7 (65-90 mins): Doing Activity 3\n# Handout for Task 1","[{\"question\":\"What is the recommended session length and how can it be adjusted?\",\"answer\":\"The plan is designed for a 90-minute session, but it can be divided after 45 minutes if needed.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Activity 1 work in Stage 2?\",\"answer\":\"Students hear four statements about basketball and vote in pairs on which one is the lie, then get feedback on the correct sentence.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens in Activity 2 (Top Trumps) during Stage 4?\",\"answer\":\"Students play a card game where each card includes four sport facts; players win by choosing a category where their card “beats” the opponent, keeping cards secret and asking for a new category if there is a tie.\"}]","Sport Vocab Activities for Adult Learners | PDF",1790584090,13]
