Which of these countries are the sports popular in? (in some countries people like two or three sports).

Great Britain, Brazil, USA, Greece, India, Korea

What do you know about these sports? How can we play them? If you know how to play one of these sports, stand up and show the class.
Do people like/play them in Greece? Do you know other sports that people like in other countries?

Idea!

Would you like to learn to play a new sport? Find out about sports in other countries and organize games at school. You can ask your Physical Education teacher to show you how to play some of these sports.

Let's play!

Toss the ball!

Have you got a small ball? (If not, you can make one with some paper and some cellotape). Play the game in 2 groups. One pupil from each group thinks of a sport, but doesn't tell his/her classmates what it is. He/she throws the ball to one of his/her classmates in the other group. This pupil asks a question to guess the sport and throws the ball back, when he/she gets the answer. Then the first pupil throws the ball to another classmate for another question and so on. You can ask up to 5 questions to guess the sport. Your team gets one point for a correct guess. The first team to get 5 points is the winner.

Look at these examples for questions:

Have you got a ball?
Have you got a horse?
Do you go to the sea?
Is your ball black and white? Is it big?
Have you got a racket?
