Make an African plastic bag football
A photo guide to make a recycled ball
These sheets will help your pupils to make a football out of recycled materials - just like thousands of children in African countries. It’s a great activity to link to a recycling project and can be used to discuss the uses of waste materials in the UK. But it’s also simply a really fun thing to do with your class, and could prompt you to organise your own mini-African tournament - with pupils learning about different countries along the way.
