The history of football
Students explore the history of football globally, in Qatar and the FIFA World Cup™, from the origins of the beautiful game to its growth across the world and finally its arrival in Qatar to the kick-off of the 2022 FIFA World Cup™.
These toolkits provide resources for a one-hour session. Each one is intended for two separate age groups, so you can build on students’ learning over two years. Each includes a curriculum-linked lesson plan, presentation, activity sheets, information sheets and quizzes. You can use the 2022 theme film as an introduction to the topic.
