PE Soccer Stations

Product description

From the author

The PE Soccer Stations are 20 fun filled, “Kick Around” soccer-themed station signs/cards that you can use at your outdoor field, school gymnasium or could be modified to be performed in a smaller space such as a large classroom or empty cafeteria.

Each station card provides a soccer-related skill (i.e. ball control, juggling, dribbling, passing, shooting, goalkeeping, etc.) and includes a brief instructional direction and a graphic that depicts the activity.

The activities are standards-based and there are plenty of activities for you to choose from or for the students to take part in during multiple class periods or recess times if necessary.

The stations work great as an activity for the weeks leading up to the World Cup.
