Let's Talk About Sports – ESL Speaking Board Game
Sport-themed discussion questions fill a printable board game, where each square asks something different — from “Have you ever been in a stadium?” to “Should school sport be voluntary?” and “For which sports do you need a racket?”. Students move around the board with a die and take turns answering whichever question they land on, speaking or writing their response in English. Prompts range from simple personal-experience questions and sports vocabulary to open-ended opinion topics about fairness, spending, and safety in sport, giving speakers at different levels something to respond to. The printable board is the resource itself; a die and player markers are not included and need to be supplied separately.
