THEME
The inspiration behind developing a football outdoor resource box at Everton Nursery School and Family Centre started with a large group of boys who demonstrated a clear passion and interest in the game. They wanted to explore how they could use their whole bodies to kick and move a range of different sized balls as well as recreate the roles of their favourite footballers – some of whom were ‘scorers’, and others ‘goalies’.
We developed the resource box to introduce the concept of rules, making specific reference to both yellow cards and red cards, and we fostered a teamwork approach by equipping children to choose teams.
