I had some free time in class at the end of a topic, and I had some Year 3 students visiting my Year 4 class for transition activities, so I thought it would be a good one-off topic. They enjoyed learning about Russia and the World Cup with the comprehension and the Guide, they liked looking at the flags and other images, and then we finished off by doing World Cup Maths challenge cards. It's a great pack, with interest for both sports and geography. Goes well with the Olympics and Winter Olympics packs!
Used this with a boy heavy class in June as final topic of the year. Everyone really enjoyed each of the activities which also doubled over as our end of year check ups for some children.
I used the world cup pack with my class of soccer mad pupils. They enjoyed all the activities and did not realise how much they learned. They loved the player profile and fact cards as they spend a lot of time discussing their favourite player. The world cup fact cards had them enthralled. i will use the template for Russia again when doing project work on other countries. It also lead to great integration. We then drew flags of each country, put them in groups and recorded goals scored, worked out averages etc. At this stage some of our countries are going home so we remove them from display, children can then see how next round will work. A great resource to have for the end of the year. Thanks
Hi guys, pat yourselves on the back!!
I found this mini pack so useful.
The children found the crossword challenging but great for vocab for those who knew little or nothing about football-We had great discussions with the knowledgable boys taking the lead.
The word search was challenging and engaging as they all wanted to make sure they found all the countries-we then got to colour the circled country names-great fun.
The information sheet on Russia made a great basis for a mixed ability team challenge - some repeated questions though.
This would make a great template for other countries as the vocabulary range was excellent and well suited to my fourth class-presented some great teaching/learning vignettes and I think it would be great to do in this format with other countries next year in geography lesson, as a change from project style approaches.
We also set up a sweepstake as an exercise, although we won't see it fully played out as we finish on June 27th.
The maths challenges were particularly interesting as I got a sneaky taster on percentages done - not required until next year but hey, make hay while the sun shines, also the notion of billions was new to them but they adapted quite well to the challenges. They were beautifully written as the children had to think and follow our RUDE system to crack them. They love a challenge and were totally absorbed for 2 hours on Wednesday and 2 more on Thursday.
One last point, the opportunity for integration was super as I got oral language, research, geography, teamwork and maths rolled into one. Thank you all very much, and keep rolling out those wonderful mini packs.
Regards, Ann
As today is an end-of-term day, I thought it would be nice to teach a one-off lesson on the World Cup, just starting. We read through the Guide, and then we got into groups and did a carousel of activities.
The Guide was very interesting, especially the maps and fun facts. Many of the children enjoyed the crosswords and wordsearches. The maths challenges couldn't really be explored in the time we had, but I can see how they would make a terrific maths lesson in their own right!
A very useful pack. Well done!
My son loves to do word searches and crosswords and he is thrilled the there is a World Cup one! This will also encourage my 7 year old to enjoy word searches :).
I will work on this pack next two weeks. It will really help, because, as everybody knows, Brazilian people loves football and so my students.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for this just what I needed, we are holding a sweepstake, the powerpoint is a great introduction and will use the top trumps for learning about the countries
I don't take much interest in football myself, but a lot of my students will really enjoy this pack!
As for me, I really like these maths word problems, and the Top Trumps cards look fun, and I love those inspirational photos for children to write about, and a very nice differentiated comprehension exercise on Russia (have you thought of cross-posting that to the Comprehension Pack, to go with the France one?)
Great job! Well done, Mark and Helen!
Can't wait to use these with my class of football mad boys! They will LOVE this! Thanks so much Mark
