Sports Flashcards Set 1: play ~
vocabulary: soccer/football, baseball, American football, golf, basketball, ice hockey, rugby, field hockey, volleyball, badminton, table tennis/ ping pong, tennis
The MES online flashcard application is an in-browser app that allows full screen display, has audio, and a few vocabulary building games.
Mark's Note: I have separated the sets into sports we 'play', recreational activitities as set 2, 'go ~ing' and sports set 3 as sports that use 'do' or that have their own verb form, 'race cars'.

Sports and Leisure Flashcards: go ~ing
vocabulary: bowling, jogging, walking, swimming, ice skating, skiing, surfing, skateboarding, fishing, shopping, hiking, dancing, horseback riding, sledding, cycling/bike riding, golfing, snowboarding, hunting
Mark's note: I use sports both 'play' and 'go' to introduce 'Have you ever played/gone ~?' I ask the question over and over for a long while before I ask them to produce the language. It's a very natural question for young children and you shouldn't need to explain. 'Do you play tennis?' is a very abstract question for younger children (generalization/truth.)
Sports Flashcards Set 3: do ~
vocabulary: do gymnastics, do cheerleading, do aerobics, do track and field, do karate/martial arts, do archery, do yoga/tai chi, do stretches, run the 100m dash, dive, race cars, box, lift weights, wrestle, fence
Mark's note: I use these 3 sets to practice 3rd person singular, the future tense "be going to," and relative clauses. They are also good for practicing "I like to ~." or "I want to ~."
I don't recommend this set for students under the age of 10. They probably won't know the majority of these activities or be able to differentiate them at younger ages.
