Fun Soccer Facts for Kids
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and is played in nearly every country.
In England, a game of kicking a ball and running with it became popular in the mid 1800s. It was called “football” because it was played on foot rather than on horseback.
Many countries have their own professional leagues, and the FIFA World Cup is one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
Soccer has also been part of the Summer Olympics for many years, bringing together teams from around the globe.

Instructions
Print out your soccer playtime clothes. If you are using the black and white version, have the kids color the uniforms first before cutting them out. This makes it much easier to decorate neatly.
Next, go to the Playtime Paper Doll bodies and choose the flesh tone body you prefer, or select the black and white version to color. Print and carefully cut out the body.
Then visit the Playtime Paper Doll Hair section and select the hairstyle and color you like. Cut out the hair and glue it onto your doll.
Once your doll is assembled, cut out the soccer clothes and glue them in place. Now your soccer player is ready to hit the field.
Make a whole team by printing multiple dolls. Dress them in your country’s colors for Olympic fun or create rival teams for an exciting classroom activity.
Creative Ideas
Create team jerseys with numbers on the back.
Design a team logo and glue it onto the shirts.
