Football number bonds worksheet free download

When I asked T what sort of activities he'd like to do afterschool, he asked for number bonds!  He loves maths and if number bonds are what my little man wanted, then that's what I decided to make!


T loves the No problem maths method from Singapore Maths and this method really does seem to work for him.  See here for more information on number bonds.


Because the world cup is coming up and because we are doing lots of football related activities and games at the moment I decided to make this number bond worksheet football themed.


I have left the numbers blank on this worksheet so that it can be customised specifically for the level of your child.  The first one I did for T was for 20 but of course he told me it was too easy and it needed to be a higher number!  He is so funny! 


To aide this activity you could use a number line or small parts, number blocks or lego.

Football and World Cup month round-up

So here's goodbye to our Football and World Cup theme month.

We loved spending time learning about flags, talking about pickles the dog finding the missing World Cup in 1966, doing some football activities from our activity pack and eating football themed food.

We've also enjoyed some toddler football training that daddy did, playing football at the park, collecting World Cup panini stickers, shaking our caxirola's, blowing Brazilian trumpets, face painting the St Georges cross and reading some football themed books.  Phew! It's been a busy one!

Good luck if your team made it through to the next round, Lx 

|COOK|fun food friday - winners dinner

This is the last of our football themed lunches and I'm happy to bring this one to a close ;) it's been hard as trying to find football bento accessories has been impossible so I've had to try and think outside the box a bit.  I'm also ready to move onto a new theme, although as the World Cup continues to 13 July, all of our football and World Cup activities and lunches are still current.

Not a particularly difficult lunch, T loved it, he loved dipping his veggies into the trophy from his sensory box! Half a small jacket potato with cheese topped it off. I added a cake decoration footballer, something I actually already had from either The Hubs or H's birthday one time and some cake decoration football boots. 

To make the boots into little picks I made a hole using a drawing pin and inserted a cocktail stick, then cut it down, simple as that.

Not really a lot to say about the things I used so I'll keep this short and sweet!

|FUN|finger football game

Trying to come up with another football activity for T, I kept coming across pins in pinterest for printable finger football characters, now not one to reinvent the wheel I thought I'd go with that idea but make my own version.  I love taking an existing idea and making it my own and if that's really quick and easy then even better!

Our version of finger football uses a pom-pom ball, the pitch used for our blow football activity and real footballers!!!

I wanted 'proper' footballers, so I headed over to the FIFA website and saved some photos from the squad page, I've created a PDF showing exactly where to go if you want to use them too!

I imported the photos into word and sized them to approximately 3 inches x 4 inches then printed off in colour.

At this stage I better explain why I've chosen these footballers - well, Joe Hart is the England goalie and as I have Spain in my work sweepstake I chose the only 2 players I'd heard of, Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres.

I stuck the photos onto cardboard, I used an old coke box and left overnight to dry.

The next day I cut around the photos and cut holes for our fingers, here's a template for the size hole I cut ⭐️ Even The Hubs can get his fingers through, I used a craft knife to cut the holes

So, our version of the game is penalty shoot out!! One player is in goal while the others try to score!  I'll make more footballers for when we have The Teens next and we can have even more fun!

|FUN|world cup flags matching game

 

I wanted to use the flags I made for our world cup sensory tray for another activity for T and decided that I'd do a little flag matching game, I got the tiny flags for the sensory tray from a google search, printed them, cut them out and then laminated them.

 

I looked around for a slightly larger printable world cup flag sheet and came across this fabulous one from activity village.

 

I'm actually really pleased with the results of using the 2 different printables because we've got 2 different sized flags.

 

 

 

I put the small flags in a pot and asked T to pick one out and put it on the right flag on the printable he did this for about 6 and then got bored!  A child with a slightly longer attention span or older child will probably be able to do all of them.  If T was a little older, I would have explained which flag is for which country but I think he's too young for that at the moment, although he is recognising the St Georges Cross at the England flag now.

 

I do plan to try this activity again but putting a treat on each flag which T can eat if he matches up the flag correctly, I think that will hold his attention span slightly longer!

|COOK|fun food friday - three lions lunch

 Stretching the limits of my football themed lunch today and created a three lions bagel lunch!

The '3 lions' came from 3 lion picks which I used on cocktail sausages, I served T half a bagel with cream cheese and pepper hexagons to make it look like a football.  And the obligatory cucumber with the word 'goal' cut out.  I cut a star from yellow pepper and placed that instead of the O in goal - representing the one star on the England shirt!

Plate - sainsbury's

Pink lion pick - Eats amazing

Yellow lion picks - eBay (China)

Hexagon cutter - Eats amazing, but no longer available.

alphabet cuttters - amazon (ever-so slightly gutted as I paid £20 3 years ago!!!)

star cutter - amazon
