What are some football related activities for kids to do at home?

[BeGreyFinch]

I'm searching for additional enjoyable activities to do at home beyond just watching TV or scrolling through phone. Are there any great fun activities, especially for kids, that you would recommend?

One successful idea we've tried is organizing quick family challenges, such as timed puzzles or mini cooking contests. These simple activities make staying at home more enjoyable.

My kid really enjoys staying active and playing sports, he is 8 and really into football. Maybe something that he could at home related to his training? I don't have much space, but maybe there's options where he could stay away from breaking any windows but still keep active?

Thanks!

my 3 boys ( now in their 40’s) played sport from the age of 6 and were completely obsessed. On days when there was no school/no matches/and it was raining they played endless games of teddy football with a table tennis ball, and a cricket version with a lego bat. Every one of their large collection of soft toys was assigned a team , a name and a position
Some rainy days I didn’t see them for hours as there was some sort of league or knockout completion going on in the bedroom! It also involved reams and reams of paper recording of results and league position league
Obviously before the days of high tec!

So far, my research ended with some Youtube channels that my boy try to recreate, he was quite ok with that. Also, I made a purchase of the FPRO football mat, so it's a bit more high-tech if you can say that. It was a gift for him, but I managed to get a deal with the code SPORTY20, which made it more reasonably priced. We will be trying it out, maybe my son will have something to say about it.

Keeepy uppy challenge. Hours of fun in my house…..
