At the Paris Olympics, there is a new computer system that helps find kids who might win gold medals in the future. This smart technology helps kids in faraway places see if they are good at sports. Kids like Tacto and Tomo from Japan tried running and jumping to see how fast and strong they are. The computer looks at their results and compares them to famous athletes to see which sport they might be good at.

The system is easy to use because it works on a phone or tablet, so it can go anywhere. It was used in Senegal to test over 1,000 kids, and some were really good at sports. This helps kids in places without big sports centers find out if they can be athletes. Experts say this is a good way to find young talent, but it might not show everything a sport needs. Kids like Tacto had fun trying it, and it helps them learn what sports they might like.

– CHARADES
Instructions: Divide the class into small groups. Each group will take turns acting out sports without speaking while the other groups guess the sport. Use simple sports vocabulary and encourage gestures to help convey the meaning.
– OPINION POLL
Instructions: Ask students to walk around the classroom and ask their classmates which sport they like the most. They can use simple questions like, "Do you like soccer?" or "What is your favorite sport?" After a few minutes, gather the class and discuss the most popular answers.
– VOCABULARY PICTIONARY
Instructions: Write sports-related words on slips of paper (e.g., running, jumping, swimming). One student will pick a slip and draw the word on the board while the others guess what it is. This will help them learn and remember new sports vocabulary.
– THINK-PAIR-SHARE
Instructions: Pose the question, "What sport would you like to try and why?" Give students a minute to think, then have them pair up to share their thoughts. Finally, ask a few pairs to share their ideas with the whole class.
– FUTURE PREDICTIONS
Instructions: Have students think about which sport they might be good at based on their interests or skills. They can write or share with a partner what sport they would like to excel in and why they think they could be good at it. This encourages them to use future predictions in their speaking and writing.
