ESL LESSON PLAN: SPORTS

Unit Overview

Level 0 is perfect for young learners who are just starting out on their English learning journey. Students with zero English knowledge are able to take these classes, allowing them to take their first steps toward fluency

At Level 0, lessons focus on essential vocabulary and simple sentences, allowing students to build a solid foundation in English. Through repetition and visual aids, learners can confidently understand and use basic phrases

As always with the kids’ units at ESL Pals, there are three lesson plans within each unit. The lessons teach basic words through multiple fun exercises and games. The minimum length of each lesson plan is 30 minutes
