This photo shows some spectators in the SkyDome in Toronto, Canada.

The SkyDome is a multi-sport centre, the home of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team and the Toronto Argonauts Canadian Football team.

The image can be used as a focus for activities on leisure and recreation.

  • What do you think the people are doing?
  • Can you work out which season it might be? Why did you decide on this one?
  • What sports might be played in this stadium?
  • In which direction is the sports arena?
  • In what ways could the people in this picture have travelled to the SkyDome? Alternatively, if you have been to a large stadium, describe how you travelled there.
  • Make a list of the different ways in which people might spend their money at the SkyDome. (Imagine that they spend more than half a day in the stadium: how much money would they have to take? How many meals and drinks would they need? Bear in mind that, if it is a special visit, they might like to purchase a memento of the day.)
