What's included in the FIFA World Cup Whole School Assembly PowerPoint resource and why is it useful?

FIFA World Cup Whole School Assembly PowerPoint is a slideshow that explores the world's biggest football tournament and the lessons it can teach us. The content includes 11 slides with teacher notes, covering what the FIFA World Cup is, why it is watched around the world, the host country, fans around the world, teamwork, resilience, the underdog, respect and sportsmanship and a final reflection.

A Global Event

How countries from every continent compete every four years for the trophy and national pride, and how fans celebrate together, with questions such as "Why do you think football is played in so many countries?"

Lessons from the Pitch

Teamwork, resilience, underdogs and good sportsmanship, with discussion prompts in the teacher notes, ending with "What lessons could we take from football to help us in school or everyday life?"

How do our whole school assemblies work?

Our whole school assemblies are PowerPoint slideshows that follow a similar structure: an introduction, questions to get children thinking, the key points of the topic and reflection time. They're paced to suit a primary school assembly and work best on a whiteboard, projected out to the hall. You can use them:

• as a whole school assembly, from EYFS up to KS2
• as a class assembly
• as a teaching PowerPoint when you want to cover an event or topic in your own classroom

The majority of our assemblies include teacher notes and guidance to support delivery, and because they're pacey, you can adapt them to however long your assembly lasts.

Adapting the Assembly for Your School

Every assembly is editable, so you can add, remove or change slides to suit the needs of your school. We cover religious events, seasonal topics, values such as kindness, friendship and tolerance, science, history, PSHE, music, significant people and sporting events, so you can choose the assemblies that fit your school year.

Supporting Learning at Home

Families can carry the conversation on at home by asking children about their assembly: what they heard, how it made them feel and what they think about it.
