Get students excited about the FIFA World Cup 2026 with this engaging and creative design task!

In this activity, students design their own official match ball using colours, patterns, and symbolism. They then explain the meaning behind their design, linking creativity with thoughtful written expression.

This worksheet encourages imagination while also developing descriptive writing skills. The included example (based on the 2010 World Cup ball) helps students understand how design choices can represent ideas, culture, and identity.

Ideal as a one-off lesson, tutor activity, cover work, or part of a wider topic on global events, sport, or design.
