Beyond the Sport | Sports Discussion and Presentation Activities for EFL

Take sport beyond the scoreboard with this engaging speaking resource that explores how famous athletes have made an impact outside their sport. Through a team quiz and a creative public relations challenge, students develop speaking confidence, teamwork, presentation skills, and critical thinking whilst discussing real sporting personalities and creating publicity campaigns for fictional athletes.

The resource includes a ready to use Sporting Superstars Quiz featuring famous athletes recognised for achievements beyond their sporting careers, alongside six printable Athlete Profile Cards for a collaborative public relations challenge. Working in teams, learners discuss ideas, make decisions, create social media posts, design sponsorship campaigns, and present their athlete to the class.

The activities naturally develop speaking, listening, planning, creativity, persuasion, and presentation skills whilst encouraging students to justify their ideas and work collaboratively. With realistic scenarios and open ended tasks, every group's campaign is unique, making the resource ideal for mixed ability classrooms and genuine communication.

Teacher follow up ideas encourage learners to respond to changing situations, such as handling social media criticism or planning exciting sponsorship opportunities, providing further opportunities for discussion, problem solving, and creative language use.

This resource is also part of our Sports | EFL Resource Pack, which is available to download here.
