With just two weeks to go to the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Discovery Education – the worldwide EdTech leader whose state-of-the-art digital platform supports learning wherever it takes place – is providing primary schools with exciting resources to help pupils learn about and celebrate this major sporting event.
Kicking off in Australia and New Zealand on 20th July, the tournament will see a record-breaking 32 nations taking part, making the ninth FIFA Women’s World Cup the biggest yet.
To support celebrations, Discovery Education has curated a host of football-themed resources connecting children’s enthusiasm for the game with learning. Closely mapped to the National Curriculum, and covering a broad range of subjects – from geography and maths to social studies and PE – the resources include videos, images, interactives and activities, providing fun and engaging ways to learn about women’s football and be inspired by its role models.
Available via the award-winning digital learning service Discovery Education Espresso, and suitable for students from Foundation to KS2, Espresso’s football-themed resources include:
Schools will also be able to get ready for the start of the new football season in the UK, using the Premier League Football Channel – a specially curated collection of Maths and English resources within Espresso.
Howard Lewis, Discovery Education’s UK and International Managing Director said:
“Discovery Education is proud to provide schools with exciting resources to celebrate and learn about the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Harnessing children’s natural enthusiasm for football, these resources will support teachers to make educational links between the tournament and learning, while helping schools everywhere take part in this global celebration.”
The football-themed resources are available to Discovery Education subscriber schools via Discovery Education Espresso, the curriculum-centred daily learning platform for primary schools.
