“In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It’s their normal life. But in other parts of the world, we are starving for education… it’s like a precious gift. It’s like a diamond…” – Malala Yousafzai

• How a variety of things are needed for a quality education.
• Cones represent education resources such as books, pencils and computers etc.
• Can work with either just running into the middle, or dribbling balls simultaneously.

• Divide players into two teams.
• Place cones etc in the middle of the pitch.
• When the coach says go, the teams have to race one by one to the middle.
• The one team that gets more educational resources gets a higher education.

• Dribble the ball as fast as you can with lots of touches on the ball to keep control. The faster you go, the more chances your team will have to grab cones from the middle.
• Use both feet for a more balanced dribbling technique- using the outside of the foot is more natural to match your running gait.
• Practice the toe taps challenge beforehand so that you can do it really quickly in the game and beat the other teams!
• Use a variety of turns and tricks to improve your dribbling skills.

There are so many great ways to create a game. Allow the players to be quite creative with this by introducing the goal at the beginning of the match and asking them how this could be included:  Do one team have a big goal and the other a small. Do everybody play with a glas of water or change a rule every minute. 

A simple way to bring in the Global Goals when playing a match, is that every time a team scores or make a save, or during a water break they can double their points or get a point by stating a Global Goal and what they could do to help promote this in their community. Easiest to play small side games with 3-6 players, so they can hear each other.

You can always have several games going at the same time. There are some rule ideas under Goal 17.

If you have time, give the players a chance to talk solutions, and how they them selve can do something in their every day.

• Why do we need a variety in educational resources?
• Is different classes a resource?
• What happens to the team who gets less educated
• What are the benefits of a good education?
• What other global goals is supported when reaching this goal?

When you and your players create your own drills for the global goals, please share it. Every game counts.

Describe your game in a drawing and add a few words and send it to us.

As a thank you we will share your Impact Game under the relevant Goal here on the website and of course crediting you and your team!
