This YLE Movers–level worksheet introduces young learners to the exciting world of the Winter Olympics through a clear, engaging, and well-scaffolded sequence of activities. It begins with a visual warm-up to activate curiosity and speaking, followed by picture-based vocabulary matching and a simple gap-fill to reinforce key sports words and basic equipment. The short, child-friendly reading text explains what the Winter Olympics are and introduces popular ice and snow sports in an accessible way, supported by a YES/NO comprehension task that checks understanding without overwhelming learners. The worksheet then moves naturally into guided speaking, allowing pupils to personalise the topic by talking about their favourite sport, and finishes with a creative draw-and-label task that works perfectly for mixed-ability classes. With its balance of vocabulary, reading, speaking, and creativity, this worksheet is ideal for primary learners, works well as a standalone lesson or part of a sports-themed unit, and requires minimal preparation for teachers.
