This fun football-themed resource is perfect for EYFS and KS1 children and is designed to support vocabulary development, speaking and listening, reading, matching and fine motor skills, whilst celebrating special events and sporting occasions.
Children can colour the football-themed cards, cut them out and match them to the corresponding words on Sheet 3.
The resource includes 12 familiar England football items such as the football kit, three lions, cup, team, referee, captain and flag, helping children build topic vocabulary.
The cards are provided in both colour and black-and-white versions, allowing children to either use the ready-made colour cards or personalise their own by colouring them in.
The duplicated card sets can also be cut out and used for matching pairs games, memory games, sorting activities and small group challenges.
Ideal for use during football tournaments, sports week, the World Cup, or as part of a topic on England, this resource offers a practical and motivating way to develop literacy skills through play-based learning.
