Optional Review Game Cards (Pages 7, 8, 9)Cut out cards from the Picture Dictionary. Tape one card to each students back. Have students walk around the class trying to guess what they are playing or doing. The other students have to give them hints by telling them what they are wearing or using, or what rules they have to follow. Students are not allowed to use the word in the sport. If Student A has a soccer player on her back, Student B cant say Dont forget your soccer ball. She can say, Dont use your hands today! The first three students to guess correctly get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

If you have a large number of students, print out extra copies of the cards. Tell students they have to find their teammates. You can find more cards to use in the Sports Flashcards section. See page 13 for more information.
