I don’t know about you, but my students are OBSESSED with the World Cup right now. Kids I’ve never heard talk about any sport are shouting “Ole, ole, ole, ole” and “U-S-A” in the hallways.
(I wish I could get them this excited about Geography.)
This week I created a resource for the occasion. I decided that if they were going to be talking about the World Cup and all these countries, they better know where in the world they are. So, I created World Cup Geography.
Students find all es participating in the World Cup Qatar 2022 and mark them on a map. They’ll also explore the countries’ flags.
This activity allows students to see which parts of the world have the most prominent soccer/football-playing nations. It also provides information about Qatar (population, life expectancy, gross domestic product, etc.), strengthening their geographic knowledge.
P. S. If you’re feeling really nice and festive, you may even turn on the matches while they work (mine loved that and have never been so focused).
Check it out (for only $3), and please leave a review on TpT if you like it.
