This is football season! In front of you, a display includes some footballs and information about each country participating in the current tournament.

Choose one or two countries and read the information provided.
Take a football and write a prayer for the country/countries you have chosen on it.
Form a circle with the other children and throw the ball to someone who reads one of the prayers – repeating until all prayers are read.

Dan huwa l-istaġun tal-futbol! Quddiemek hemm wirja li tinkludi xi blalen u xi informazzjoni dwar kull pajjiż li qed jieħdu sehem bħalissa fil-kompetizzjoni tal-futbol.

Agħżel pajjiż jew tnejn u aqra l-informazzjoni dwarhom.
Ħu ballun u ikteb fuqu talba għal pajjiż/pajjiżi li għażilt.
Ifforma ċirku flimkien mat-tfal l-oħra u itfa’ l-ballun lil xi ħadd mit-tfal li jaqra waħda mit-talbiet li hemm miktub fuqu – irrepeti hekk sakemm jinqraw it-talbiet kollha.
