PLAY - BY - PLAY

ACTIVITIES:

1. Watch a soccer game and write a sports report about it. Remember to include an exciting headline.

2. What sport would you want to learn? Find some information about that sport and create a brochure or poster telling about the sport and why it is exciting.

3. Work with an older person in your family to invent a new sport of the future that can be played during the centuries to come. Your sport might include computers, space aliens, weightlessness, or some other fantastic idea of the future.

4. Draw a diagram of a soccer field, showing the markings on the field and the position of the nets. Make model players of 2 different colors. Use this model to explain the rules and the way the players work together to the class.

5. Write a paragraph telling what the statement "Winning isn't everything -- it's the only thing" means. State whether you agree with it or not and why.

6. Create an account of a play-by-play of a sporting game. It could be a description of the last exciting minutes of a close game or a funny incident. Record it on a cassette and play it for the class.
