Did you know that you can develop your child's vocabulary and maths skills while playing and talking about sport? Here are just a few ways:

• use rich vocabulary, especially for the sports your child is most interested in
  
  Did you see that crosscourt backhand? What an amazing winner!
• describe directions
  
  The ball went past the goal / through my legs / over his head / onto the roof.
• talk about probability
  
  What's the chance that we'll score a goal in the final minute?
• add and subtract time
  
  How much time is left in the match?
• use fractions
  
  How many quarters have they played already?
