Team Sports Action Verbs Card Game
These sports flashcards are jam-packed with action vocabulary. There are a lot of cards so you may wish to
pick and choose what vocabulary or sports you want to cover. I
tried to avoid overly technical vocabulary and concentrate on words that
convey action in sports.
Some terms covered are:
A basketball player passing the ball.
A soccer player heading the ball.
A goalie making a save.
A referee calling a penalty.
A volleyball player diving for the ball.
A hockey player skating with the puck.
A baseball player striking out.
A football player scoring a touchdown.
Print two copies of the cards and paste on posterboard to
make a deck of cards to play Go Fish, review the vocabulary, or play Memory.
Go Fish:
Students each get 2 or 3 cards dealt to them. Going clockwise students try to match up their
cards by asking other students if they have a matching card. Interactions are as follows:
Student A: Do you have a goalie making a save?
Student B: Yes, I do. (Student B gives card to student A and student A gets a point).
or
Student A: Do you have a baseball player striking out?
Student B: No, I don't. (Student A takes a card from the deck).
