I hope to help all the Manchester United fans, as this is the closest
you will get to champions league football this season!
Champions
League theme for Mega’s
In light of the return of the champions league this week. I have
decided to create some champions league themed games. For some of us it’s been longer then a year
waiting for its return ;)
The games themselves are games you have most likely played/coached or
seen before. However with slight additions you can incorporate a European feel
to them!
Warm up Games - Team names
replacing colours.
For instance you could travel to different iconic teams and their
respective stadiums. An example could be travelling to the white circle. You
would not say white to the class but rather say we are going to play for Real
Madrid and off to the Santiago Bernabeu. Or you could go to red for Liverpool
and play at Anfield!
Football based Games - Champion
League Knockout
Team names replacing
numbers.
A great game I have come across on my travels is Battle Box. Credit to
Coach Luke from Little Kickers Slough & Windsor!
You place two goals at each either end of the hall. You then give each
child a number. The child must remember their number. You then split the group
up and place one set of numbers on one side and the other set of numbers in the
other goal.
The coach will then shout out the respective numbers. So it may be 1
& 6. The ball is in the middle and the children run to the ball and try to
score first in the opposition goal.
You can play the exact game however give each child a team in the
champions league rather then a number. So you could have one child being
Chelsea playing against another child who is representing Barcelona.
