Football (soccer) Activity Packs (70 pages)

Our Football Activity Pack is ideal for children and teens who love the beautiful game – whether that’s playing, watching or both! It’s packed full of fun. cross-curricular activities all themed around the wonderful world of football. So if you are looking for a project for home education, something for school holidays or a way to engage a reluctant learner then this pack is ideal. It works really well for children that don’t engage positively with traditional school work or find demands difficult. It is a brilliant way to facilitate a child-led approach to learning.

The tasks can be completed to your child’s own level. We would expect older/more able children to work mostly independently, in more depth and with the option of extending activities with follow-on tasks and research. Younger children may record responses as pictures rather than words. They may respond verbally and have answers scribed for them or work as part of a team with an adult. Our packs are designed to be accessible to a large age range.

For example, A 14 year old may produce a complex response to a Lego challenge, independently solve numeracy puzzles, really go to town on the STEM tasks and take their self-led projects and science investigations to a much deeper level than a younger child. It is important to remember that our activity packs are not meant to mirror what a child has been doing in school, but are instead meant to engage them, spark their love of learning and most of all be FUN. Our own children (aged 7-14) have loved testing out these activities.
