Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. We're going to the alleys and hoping to get a lot of strikes. Which sport translates to EL JUEGO DE BOLOS?

Answer: Bowling

"El juego de" translates to "the game of" and "bolos" means "bowling". Be careful because the word "bolo" translates to drunkard so use that "s". If you're so good that you get a strike every time, you'd have a perfect score of 300!

2. We're going to make a big splash today. Translate the Spanish word NATACION.

Answer: Swimming

"Natacion" means swimming in English. If you were ready for the water, you'd likely hear words like "playa" for the beach, "piscina" for the pool and "agua" for the water.

3. You went to tryouts for the EQUIPO and you made it! Translate EQUIPO.

Answer: Team

"Equipo" means team in Spanish. It looks very close to the English word equipment, and that's another translation for "equipo".

4. Baseball, basketball, and soccer are all types of DEPORTES. What would you call them in English?

Answer: Sports

If you asked someone, "�Cu�l es tu deporte favorito?", you would be asking them, "What is your favorite sport?" Did you know Mexico's two most popular sports are soccer and boxing?

5. You opened up a can of yellow balls and got your racquet to play a sport. Which easy translation is TENIS?

Answer: Tennis

Sometimes you get lucky when translating from English to Spanish as the words are almost identical. "Tenis" means tennis in English; "golf" and "karate" are spelled the same in both languages.

6. Ronald Acuna Jr. is a JUGADOR DE BEISBOL for the Atlanta Braves. What English word is the translation of JUGADOR?

Answer: Player

"Beisbol" stands for baseball and "jugador" means player. That same word "jugador" could also translate to mean a gambler. Gambling is illegal for professional baseball players so watch out in using that term.

7. If you went to the Kentucky Derby you'd be watching a major race involving CABALLOS. Translate CABALLOS.

Answer: Horses

"Carreras de caballos" is the Spanish phrase for horse racing. "Potro" is the Spanish word for foal, a young horse. There are three races in American horse racing's Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes, and the Preakness.

8. My favorite player in BALONCESTO was Kobe Bryant. Which sport is it?

Answer: Basketball

In Spain and European countries, they use "baloncesto" for the word basketball. In Mexico, they use the word "basquetbol". Kobe Bryant played his entire 20 year basketball career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

9. Hockey can be played on grass or on HIELO. Translate the word HIELO.

Answer: Ice

"Nieve" is the Spanish word for snow, but "hielo" means ice. "El copo de nieve" is the Spanish phrase for a snowflake in English.

10. "Keep your eye on the PELOTA". what English word can replace the word PELOTA?

Answer: Ball

A "balon" or a "pelota" both mean ball in Spanish. If we're describing a larger inflatable ball like a basketball or soccer ball, we use "balon". For smaller balls like those used in tennis or baseball we'd use "pelota".
