Come Alive Football: Resource Pack

Love it or loathe it, there can be no denying that football plays an important part in the lives of many children.

This practical, cross-curricular guide will inspire even the most sport wary educator to respond positively to this interest. Written by Helen Bromley, Come Alive Football is a toolkit to help you develop purposeful learning opportunities while children pursue ideas and themes that are close to their hearts

The pack offers a wealth of ideas covering all areas of provision and offers many different ways for children to engage with this popular theme. They can participate in football role play, compile a match report, design a new stadium and investigate what makes a good football. It includes a 48-page guide to working with a football theme, 11 printed plastic props including a pitch, supporters, team sheet and trophies. A resource CD-ROM is also included with printable resources e.g. football characters, environmental print, stadiums around the world and a book list.
