Teaching tips
The teacher lesson plans reference short YouTube clips (a rugby haka, a scrum) to introduce each sport — cue these up in advance since they're built into the warm-up sequence.
The 'Face Ping-Pong' partner warm-up game (naming sports back and forth) works well as a quick recap before any of the three reading passages, not just as a one-time opener.
Since the acronyms activity is designed as a lead-in to the BASE-jumping unit specifically, teach it immediately before that passage rather than as a stand-alone activity.
Skills covered
Reading comprehension — practiced through nonfiction passages on cricket, rugby, and BASE jumping with follow-up questions
Vocabulary acquisition — practiced by defining and using sport-specific terms found while skimming each passage
Spoken discussion — practiced through partner games and class discussion prompts tied to video clips
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What sports does this set of reading passages cover?
Three units — cricket, rugby union, and BASE jumping — each with its own informational reading passage, discussion questions, and vocabulary work.
Is there guidance for running this as a full lesson, not just a worksheet?
Yes — detailed teacher lesson plans walk through warm-up games, discussion prompts, video cues, and model responses for each of the three sports.
