Sports and Games + Slovná zásoba

Sport and games are very important for active relaxation and are also important for our physical and mental health. The main difference between sport and game is that game is the „collective“ and the sport is more individual - it means football or basketball are games and e.g. tennis or swimming are sports. We can practise some of sports and games indoor and some of them outdoor. In the first group there are e.g. ice-hockey, basketball, handball, figure skating or gymnastics and in the second group there are e.g. baseball, golf, winter sports such as skiing (slalom, down-hill, ski-jump), rellyes or riding. There are also sports for both indoor and outdoor - swimming, athletics (sprint, jump, javelin), football, tennis, volleyball etc. Some sports such as diving, windsurfing or racing can be quite dangerous and very expensive.
