Football and Freedom: Exploring South Africa’s history, culture and context
A comprehensive resource aimed at KS2 but adaptable to KS3. The pack was developed by NUT and ACTSA originally for World Cup 2010 and revised in 2011.
· Getting to know South Africa: Pupils undertake research, play games, carry out a series of simple tasks and plan a footballer’s diet to build their knowledge and understanding of South African culture and history.
· Fan culture: Pupils learn about the similarities and differences between the UK and South African cultures as they explore football fan culture through language, art, music and writing.
· Life in the new South Africa: Research, design and role play activities based on present day South Africa enable pupils to learn about human rights, equality and global concepts both within the South African context and more broadly.
· World Cup venues: Pupils learn about football stadiums, play games and calculate travel distances to matches and look at carbon footprints as they go on a journey to discover South Africa.
