Class 3’s World Cup

Each child got a clipboard and a pencil and a print off a copy of the group stage fixtures for the World Cup. Once they had changed into their PE kits we went outside where, taking two coins to flip at the start of each match and whoever won the coin toss got to decide the challenge. The challenges were:

1.       Power challenge (one shot at goal from their choice of one of the five distances, the further away they shoot from the more they can score, set up 5 possible distances to shoot at goal from).

2.       Football ten-pin bowling (one shot to knock down as many of the five cones as they can).

3.       Pace and accuracy challenge (one shot to try and get the ball to stop in one of the 5 hoops, the further away the hoop is the more they score).

A miss in any of these challenges meant a score of 0. Coins were flipped to decide who went first. Two were played simultaneously all children recorded the results of the 2 games before we moved onto the next 2. Once the group stages were over the children back came back inside and together we worked out who the last 16 teams were by filling in the tables for each group. We then played out our knockout fixtures before finding out who our eventual winners were. Mexico!
