MAD Category Match - Graded Order
Listen as the people describe the sport that they play. Place each vocabulary word or phrase under the
sport it matches based on what you hear. The order will be graded.
Sport
Played on?
Equipment?
Ball?
Actions?
Points?
Speaker 1: Baseball is my favorite sport. After school, you will find me at the school baseball diamond or the
field by my house. I always have my bat, hat, and glove with me in case someone is ready to play or practice. A
baseball is one of the smaller sport balls. It is a hard, white ball with red stitching. To play baseball, you must
be good at catching and throwing. The hardest part is hitting this small ball with a bat. Pitchers throw the ball
on average 90 miles per hour. You have to have a good eye to hit well. When you hit the ball, you then run
around the bases to score a run. A run is worth 1 point.
Speaker 2: Basketball is the best sport of all. This sport is usually played on an indoor court although lots of
parks have courts outdoors to enjoy in the nice weather. At both ends of the court, there is a basket with a
net. As a basketball player, your goal is to pass the big, orange ball to your teammates and shoot it into the
basket. Each basket is worth 2 points, but if you shoot from far away, it’s called a "3-pointer" and you get 3
points instead. It’s a fast-paced game with lots of points being scored. Basketball is fun to play and to watch!
Speaker 3: Which sport has over four billion fans around the world? Soccer! It’s also my favorite sport. You
have to be good at running because this game is played on a big 110-yard field where you will run back and
forth many times. There is a big goal with a net on both ends of the field that is protected by a goalkeeper.
When your team kicks a goal, you get 1 point. Often there aren’t a lot of points scored because it is hard to
pass and kick the black and white ball into the goal. It takes a lot of hard work and skill.
Speaker 4: Don’t confuse my favorite sport with soccer. Football, or as many people call it, American football,
is not actually played with your feet. It is played on a 100-yard field, and the players have to get the ball into the
end zone where they can score a 6-point touchdown. The kicker can also score points for the team with field
goals. The players need to throw and catch the brown ball while trying not to be hit by the other team. This is
why it is important to wear a helmet. This sport can get a little rough, so protective equipment is needed!

Form the question like this:
Question word or phrase To be conjugated subject other + ?
Was she the coach?
Who was the coach?
Were they at the sports facility?
When were they at the sports facility?
When using any verb except to be in the past simple, a helping verb is needed.

Question word or phrase helping verb did subject main verb (base form) other + ?
Did he catch the ball?
What did he catch?
Did they go to the locker room?
Where did they go to get dressed?
*If you need to review the grammar rules from previous levels, go to the Questions in the Past Simple chart.
LANGUAGE TIP
“Swing and a miss!” or “Strike three!”
Some sports phrases are used in daily speech. In baseball, if you hear someone say, “a swing and a
miss,” that means a player swings a bat at the ball but missed the ball. In everyday speech, it means that
someone tries to do something, but it doesn’t work.
A baseball player has 3 chances to hit the ball that is thrown, and each time he misses, it is called a strike.
After 3 strikes, that player’s turn is over, and he needs to sit down. A phrase you might hear is, “that’s strike
three”, which means there are no more chances left. This phrase is often used by parents if their children are
complaining or misbehaving and the parents give the child two chances to stop before they are punished. On
the 3rd strike, that child is “out” and in trouble. Keep your ears open to these popular sports-based phrases!

CULTURAL NOTE
Cheerleaders, Dance Teams, Halftime Shows
Sports are one of the most popular forms of entertainment in American culture. Not only is the game itself
entertaining, but everything involved in a sports game is considered entertainment as well. This includes light
shows, music, cheerleaders, and dance teams. Cheerleading and dancing at games is so common in the U.S.
that they are actually considered sports themselves. Cheer and dance teams attend competitions and
compete against other teams from around the country. You can see them perform during a halftime show,
which is a performance many people look forward to as the players take a break from their game.

Alex: I tried out for goalkeeper. Have you ever been on a soccer team?
Dave: No, I don’t like playing soccer. I really enjoy playing basketball.
Alex: Those are two very different sports. What do you like about basketball?
Dave: I like being able to catch and pass the ball with my hands.
Alex: And I love kicking the ball instead of using my hands!
Dave: I am not very good at kicking a soccer ball, but I love shooting a basketball.
Alex: Yes, we are opposite in what we enjoy doing. Is scoring a basket your favorite part?
Dave: Yes, I love when I make a basket! There is nothing better than the swish sound when it hits the net.
What is your favorite part about soccer?

When learning a foreign language, you will not know every word that you want to say. It is an art to talk
around words that you do not know. Your goal is to get your partners to guess the word by describing the
word to them without saying the word itself.
Your teacher will hand you one Partner A Worksheet and one Partner B Worksheet. Two of you work with
the Partner A worksheet and two with the Partner B worksheet. The A Partners and B Partners need to
move away from each other to work first. When you are done, you will come back together and read your
descriptions to the other partners so they can guess the vocabulary words you are describing.
Step 1: Look at the words on your worksheet. Come up with a way to describe the vocabulary word
without saying the word itself. Write down the description.
Word Description
the goalkeeper This person stops a ball from going in the goal.
Step 2: The A Partners will read what they wrote to the B Partners. The B Partners try to guess the word.
Write down their guess.
Step 3: The B Partners will read what they wrote to the A Partners. The A Partners try to guess the word.
Write down their guess.
Step 4: Add up how many words the other Partners guessed correctly. Talk about the words they did not
guess and come up with descriptions together that may have helped them guess the word.
Step 5: Turn in the two worksheets to your teacher.

CULTURAL NOTE
Other Sports in the English-Speaking World
Badminton is a competitive sport that can be found at the Summer Olympics. Badminton is similar to tennis,
where it can be played as singles or doubles, each player has a racket, and there is a net in the middle of the
court. Rather than using a tennis ball, players need to hit a shuttlecock over the net with their rackets, and a
team scores points when the shuttlecock hits the ground in-bounds on the opponents’ side.
Cricket is a team sport similar to baseball that is also popular around the world. It is played in many English-
speaking countries such as England, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, and South Africa. Players need
a field, a cricket ball and bat, 2 wickets, 6 stumps, 4 bails, a helmet, and gloves. Don’t be confused by the term
“bowlers” - nobody is actually bowling a ball toward pins, but rather a bowler is the person who throws the
ball for the batter to hit!
Rugby is a sport with 15 players from each team on the field at once. Players pass, kick, and throw the ball to
score points. Players often join together to form a group, or a “scrum”, to get possession of the ball. Similar to
American football, players score when the ball crosses the end zone of the field.

CULTURAL NOTE
Extreme Sports
Some traditional sports such as football or hockey may seem extreme because they are contact sports where
people can be injured while playing these sports. However, there are certain sports that are actually called
“extreme sports.” Extreme sports sometimes require special equipment, involve speed or heights, and are
perceived as dangerous activities. Sports in this category include rock climbing, surfing, racing, mountain
biking, whitewater rafting, skydiving, BMX, parkour, and many more.
Which of these sports have you tried? Which other ones would you like to try, if any?

Listen to what each person enjoys doing. Then, decide which free time activities would be best for each of
them.
Amy: I love being outdoors! The mountains are so beautiful. I enjoy taking pictures while I
am out in nature. I don’t mind climbing up high, but I also love to simply go biking or riding on the trails
through the woods.
Connor: My favorite season is winter. Not many people say that because most people enjoy warm weather.
However, I absolutely love the snow and cold temperatures. There are so many fun things you can do in the
winter.
Hailey: I love that I live in a state that has warm temperatures all year long because I don’t like
the cold. I also live near water, which means I am able to be at the beach almost every day.
Austin: I really enjoy getting to where I am going fast. Anything with wheels is the mode of
transportation for me! Therefore, I really enjoy being outdoors and in warmer temperatures
to be able to do what I love.
