Grade 4 ESL Quiz: Sports — 20-Mark Quick Quiz with Answer Key

How to Use This Resource

• Use at the end of Lesson 3 or at the start of the review lesson. Read the instructions together; students work alone for about 15 minutes. Mark with the answer key (1 mark per answer).

Classroom Activity Ideas

• Peer-mark Part B with the PLAY / GO / DO cards on the board.
• Students who score 13 or less play the play / go / do mode of the game before the test.

Differentiation

Support: Teach 8 sports in Lesson 1 and add the other 4 in Lesson 2. Let students keep the PLAY / GO / DO cards and the word bank on the desk. Give the frames "I can ___." and "I can't ___." For writing, give a frame: "My favourite sport is ___. I ___ it on ___. I need ___. In ___, you ___ the ball. I can ___, but I can't ___."

Extension: Add well, fast and high ("I can run fast. I can't jump high."). Strong students ask the P.E. teacher three "Can you …?" questions and report back, or write about a family member ("My sister can do taekwondo.").

Assessment

1 mark per answer, 20 marks in total. Score bands on the key: 18–20 Excellent, 14–17 Good, 10–13 Developing, 0–9 Needs Practice, with the slides to reteach.

Teacher Tips

Watch for "I can swimming." Students learn "go swimming" first and then copy the -ing into can sentences. Put two boxes on the board and leave them up for the whole unit: "go swimming (the sport)" and "can swim (the ability)". Point to the right box when you recast. Also drill the short answers with thumbs — thumbs up = "Yes, I can!", thumbs down = "No, I can't." — so students stop answering with only "Yes."
