What other game do kids enjoy more than playing soccer and goalie wars then a game of World Cup? It has been a while since I have personally played myself which it was fun to see the kids having so much fun. I remember playing after soccer practice when I was still playing, which was a while ago. To refresh anyone that has never played the game is played as followed:
How to Play:
Make sure players are divided up into multiple teams of two. One player (or a coach) will be the goalkeeper not on a team.
Have each team pick a country that they will represent. The United States will be popular, sure, but kids will have fun choosing different countries that they will play as in this "World Cup."
Using half of the field and one ball, have all the teams on the field when the game begins.
The coach throws the ball into the middle of the playing area.
At this point, play. The object is for you or your teammate to score on the goalkeeper. But each team will be going up against multiple other teams with the same mission.
If the goalkeeper saves the ball, just punt it back into the middle of the playing area.
Once a team scores, they leave the game and get ready for the next round. Continue playing with all the other teams.
The lone team that doesn't score in that round is eliminated. All the other teams that did score head back onto the field for the second round.
Play as many rounds as it takes to eliminate all but two teams. Those two teams then face off in the "World Cup Final" and the team that scores first is the champion.
