The European Football Tournament is well underway and on Thursday England take on Wales. Are you letting your students watch? What are you doing with them before the game and at half time? What about this simple, fun activity? Join the celebrations by allowing your students to design their own football kit. They can use the templates provided to add patterns and colours. Perhaps they would like to design a new kit for their own team or simply add colour to represent their chosen nation? An ideal topical activity. Suitable for KS2 and KS3. Whichever team you and your students are supporting, good luck and enjoy the tournament!

Here is an example: This year NAME has been developing his creative skills through mask making, the dramatic representation of landscapes and artwork relating to recycling. This has allowed NAME to focus on painting, drawing, and 3 dimensional modelling in a range of materials. NAME has performed satisfactorily most of the time but would have benefitted from working harder at disciplines that don’t always come easily, such as drawing. The quality of NAME’s homework usually demonstrates effort and commitment and usually deadlines are met. NAME has shown an openness to try out new techniques which is helping him to improve the standard of his final outcomes.
