Verbal Football
Mrs Bhayat
How to Play
• There are two teams. Each team has a captain.
• You have time to train in your teams before the
match begins by using the revision topic given
by your teacher.
• The match starts by a question given by the
referee to the team if you answer it correctly you
retain possession and get a second question.
• If you answer three questions correctly in a row
you get a goal.
• The team with the most goals wins.
Aims of the game
• To test knowledge and understanding of a
topic.
Rules
• A coin is tossed at the beginning of the match to see
which team goes first.
• Your team has 5seconds to answer the question.
• Anyone in the team can answer but once a question is
answered then the same person can not answer again.
• If a player answers incorrectly then it is considered a
tackle and possession moves to the other team. If the
other team answers incorrectly as well then you loose
ball and we have another questions with the first team
who got the answer wrong.
• If they do answer it correctly they have possession of the
ball.
• Fouls are committed for shouting out answers when its
not your teams turn or someone in your team has
already answered. 3 fouls from the same player is a
yellow card which can lead to a red card.
• Arguing with the referee could lead to a yellow or red
card.
Captains Job
• Captain gets to choose who goes first if
they win the coin toss.
• To set tasks out to the team in order to
make sure the players are trained properly
• Monitor who has and has not answered
the questions
• Keep a record of the goal scores
Teams
• The class is split into 2.
• Each side of the room needs a captain
• Each team needs a name e.g. Etone
United, Etone City
Training for the match
• Each team needs to decide how and what
they will research or revise on.
• The captains need to decide or work with
the payers as to who shall do what.
• Let the Match Begin!
