OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:


Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Italy. Italy won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which is the International Federation of Association Football. Italy (along with Germany) is currently the second most successful football team in World Cup history, after Brazil, having won four FIFA World Cup championships.


Use this Theme Day as inspiration to take a soccer ball out to your nearest park and play together as a family.

AUDIO VISUAL:


Search through your child’s DVD/ video collection or on your fav streaming platform (or visit your local library beforehand) to find your child’s favourite shows to see if you have any that take place in Italy.

For younger children try to find a non-fiction travel DVD that features Italy.
 
For a Cartoon based on Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare’s play that takes place in Verona usually) try Gnomeo and Juliet.

Spider-Man: Far From Home (has our fav webslinger touring Venice with his friends)
