Activity 1: World Cup Facts.
Introduce learners to this year’s World Cup with a fun and accessible activity about stadiums, teams, matches and who they would like to cheer for. This activity is ideal for building topic knowledge, supporting discussion and helping learners engage with a major world event through clear, structured choices.
Activity 2: Score the Winning Goal.
Let learners create their own World Cup moment. They can choose where to play, their favourite team, the stadium, their shirt colour and their shirt number. Then they decide where to shoot before scoring the winning goal. It’s a playful activity that supports decision-making, personal expression and participation in a fun football-themed setting.
Why these activities are useful for special education.
The World Cup is a brilliant opportunity to use a familiar and exciting theme to support learning. These activities help learners practise making choices, showing preferences, building attention and taking part in a shared topic. They can also support communication, turn-taking, discussion and confidence. Because they are made in ChooseIt Maker, they can be used flexibly with learners who access activities through touch, mouse, switch or eye gaze.
Ways to use these activities.
Use them as part of a World Cup topic, a sports-themed session or a quick activity linked to current events. They can also be used to encourage learners to choose a team, talk about colours, explore countries, practise turn-taking or make predictions about matches.
