All over the world, parents and teachers are juggling home schooling with home working. Children are e-learning, with no chance to kick a ball with friends in the playground. To give everyone a daily break from teaching and studying in isolation, the UEFA Foundation for Children has invited some of European football’s top players and coaches to become a Champions Teacher.
It’s no substitute for the real thing, but stars like Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon, Wales manager Ryan Giggs, Bayern München goalkeeper Laura Benkarth and former France star Christian Karembeu will put a smile on children’s faces with personal takes on the oldest lesson in the school exercise book: dictation.
The exercise is designed for 6–12-year-olds, with lessons available in English, French, German or Italian. Children simply need to grab a pen and paper, pick a video, then write (or type) as the Champions Teacher reads a short excerpt from their favourite children’s book or poem.
