Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to describe how to use verbs and adverbs to describe different sport actions in a game, a set of cards to select and combine verbs and adverbs that can be used to describe sports and a template to structure and write a poem using verbs and matching adverbs to describe sports that can be competed in at the Olympics.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to select matching verbs and adverbs to use in poetry to describe a range of Olympic sports.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise writing poems with patterned language and rhythm structures to describe movements and actions connected to different sports and games. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
