Engage your English language learners with this interactive Olympics Speaking Activity Sheet. Designed for beginner to intermediate students, this printable PDF turns conversation practice into a fun, low-prep classroom activity.

Students use guided monster speech bubbles and scaffolded question prompts to discuss Olympic sports, express preferences, and compare summer and winter games.

What’s Included:

• Target Vocabulary: Sprints, marathons, pole vault, gymnastics, archery, fencing, taekwondo, weightlifting, and more.
• Opinion & Adjective Prompts: Vocabulary support using words like exciting, talented, tiring, dangerous, and sore to help students explain why they like or dislike an event.
• Guided Discussion Questions:
  • What is your favorite event to watch?
  • What event looks the most difficult?
  • What does your country do well at?
  • Do you prefer the Summer Olympics or the Winter Olympics?

Classroom Implementation Ideas:

• Pair Work & Roleplay: Partner students up to take turns acting out the dialogue prompt (“Talk about the Olympics”) using the keyword bank for support.
• Classroom Survey: Have students mingle around the room to ask three classmates about their favorite sports and report back to the class.
• Warm-Up or Fast-Finisher: Use as a quick 10-minute speaking warm-up when introducing sports units or seasonal international event topics.
