Aims
Content
•
football skills: control and first touch
Language
• Lexis – football terminology
• Skills – Listening
Preparation
• This activity requires an internet connection in the classroom to watch the video. I
suggest you downstream the whole video before the lesson begins so that it plays
smoothly during the lesson.
• Prepare one worksheet per pupil, or alternatively project / write the questions on the
board and tell pupils to copy them into their books.
Procedure
• Ask pupils to brainstorm all the football words they know in English.
• Play the video and ask pupils to listen for the football words they listed before.
(Football words in the video include: ball, dribble and pass)
• Give out the worksheet, let pupils read the questions without answering yet. Let
pupils check/look up any unknown vocabulary in the questions.
• Play the video again. Pupils answer the questions whist watching.
• If necessary, play the video again.
• Check answers by playing the video and stopping before and after the answer to the
question is given. The answers are: 1.b, 2.c, 3.a, 4.b, 5.b, 6.c
