This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament. This is created for England supporters but there is also a complete Home Nations pack as well as individual packs for N.I. and Wales.
It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press "S" and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press "S" again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. I did this with my form with a prize if their randomly selected team won the tournament. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project.
The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, France. This is a research activity and so access to computers or books will be required. There are two sheets which look identical but this is not the case. One has prompts to assist lower ability students with some French historical characters to research.
The next page looks at the history of the tournament and again has a differentiated version for lower ability students.
Following on from this is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments.
Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team.
There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success followed by designing a new football kit for England.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.
There follows a focus on four famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly.
Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet.
There are a number of ways in which you can run this project:
You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability.
You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end.
My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end.
Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
