American Football ESL Speaking Activities, No Prep Super Bowl Lesson B1 to C2

American football is the most watched sport in the United States and one of the hardest to explain to someone who did not grow up with it. That gap is the lesson.

Your students do not need to like the sport. They need to be able to sit in a room where people are talking about it. Nobody has to have watched a game, and several activities work better if they have not.

- 7 speaking activities for teens and adults, B1 to C2

THE LEVELED HANDOUTS
B1-B2 sheets give full questions and require a reason. C1-C2 sheets take the frames away and require an argument or a performance. Teaching a mixed class? Print both. The sheets look the same, so nobody is singled out.

ZERO PREP
The Two-Minute Drill needs a timer and nothing else. Most activities work on a video call.
