A2 – Sports, Equipment & Idioms

Here’s an engaging ESL lesson plan suitable for A2 students of all ages and backgrounds. It includes popular individual and team sports, vocabulary related to sports equipment, speaking activities, a fun game, and idioms. While the idioms may pose a slight challenge for this level, we suggest including them as an optional homework activity. Additionally, the lesson incorporates a simple yet challenging tongue twister, which can be used as a short break between tasks and vocabulary. Begin by slowly enunciating all the sounds, then gradually increase speed, aiming to say it three or even five times in a row. The lesson features beautiful illustrations, enriching the learning experience for your students.
