A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Ask learners to name one activity they do indoors and one they do outdoors.

  1. Have pairs look first for clues that begin with The activity and find the relevant endings.
  2. Compare the coach and referee clues by asking what each person does during a match.
  3. Check the answers and invite learners to describe a hobby without naming it.

Support and extension

For a speaking extension, have learners choose an unfamiliar hobby from the grid and ask their partner one question about it.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
