It's not just Olympic sports that you can find on LearnEnglish Kids. You'll find lots of activities about other sports too. Children can learn about some extreme sports, and meet Buzz, a busy bee who loves being active! Join her on her adventure holiday, and listen to a song about the things that she loves doing!
activities for football
Or does your child love one sport in particular? Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and you'll find lots of activities about the game. Your child can practise football words, learn about its history, and play Shot Stopper. How many goals can your child save?

Parents and teachers can find some useful resources about the topic of sports on the LearnEnglish Parents site. You will find flashcards of Olympic and extreme sports, and also the latest Pron Pal - a resource to help you and your child practise the pronunciation of words and phrases related to sport. You will need to log in or register to access the latest version of Pron Pal.
coming soon - poetry competition
We are pleased to say that the poetry competition will return later this year in partnership with the Children's Poetry Bookshelf. The competition will feature a category for children aged 7-11 who are learning English as a second or foreign language. The topic this year will be 'work'. The competition opens in September but you can begin to write your poems now if you feel inspired! You can find more details on this page.
