The Festival of Football is an exciting and flexible resource designed for teachers to help Australian primary school students celebrate the fun, fitness, and friendship of playing football. Each lesson focuses on a big idea related to the interacting with others component of the Health and Physical Education curriculum (ACARA). The lessons explore the application of the big idea in the context of football and provide opportunities to apply this knowledge in gameplay.
Schools can purchase the program by booking a Sporting Schools Program or by emailing schools@footballaustralia.com.au
