Football-themed English learning worksheet for kids, featuring labeling and true/false questions about football.

Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

1. Label it!

Task: Draw a line from the words to the picture to label the football kit.

We are given a list of words on the left and a picture of a girl playing football. We need to match each word with the correct part of her outfit or equipment.

Here’s how to label:

- shirt → The yellow top she is wearing (already labeled in the image).
- shorts → The green shorts she is wearing.
- socks → The yellow long socks covering her lower legs.
- boots → The grey shoes she is wearing (football boots).
- football → The blue and white ball near her foot.

✔ So, draw lines as follows:
- "shirt" → yellow top
- "shorts" → green shorts
- "socks" → yellow socks
- "boots" → grey shoes
- "football" → the ball

2. True or false?

Now, evaluate each sentence and circle true or false.

Let’s go one by one:

#### a. There are 11 players in a football team.
- ✔ True – Each football team has 11 players on the field.

#### b. A point in football is called a try.
- ✘ False – "Try" is a term used in rugby. In football, scoring is called a goal, not a try.

#### c. The player who stands in front of the goal is the goalkeeper.
- ✘ False – The goalkeeper stands in front of the goal, but this description is misleading. Actually, the goalkeeper stands inside the goal area, guarding the net. But more importantly, the statement is technically incorrect because the goalkeeper stands in front of the goal (from the outside), but they are behind the goal from the perspective of the field. However, the key issue is: the person standing in front of the goal (i.e., facing the goal) is usually a defender or attacker, not the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is in the goal, so the correct answer is:
- ✘ False – The goalkeeper is in the goal, not just “in front of” it. This phrasing is inaccurate.

> 🟨 Note: This might be ambiguous, but generally, we say the goalkeeper stands in the goal or guards the goal. Saying “in front of” could imply outside the goal, which is wrong. So false.

#### d. A player who tries to score a goal is a defender.
- ✘ False – Defenders try to stop goals. Players who try to score are forwards or attackers, not defenders.

#### e. A player who tries to stop the other team is a striker.
- ✘ False – A striker is an offensive player who tries to score goals, not stop the other team. The players who stop the other team are defenders.

#### f. The first World Cup was in 1930.
- ✔ True – The first FIFA World Cup was held in 1930 in Uruguay.

#### g. The first modern rules of football were introduced in 1848.
- ✔ True – The Cambridge Rules of 1848 were among the first standardized rules for football, laying the foundation for modern football. (Note: The Football Association was founded in 1863, but 1848 is considered a milestone.)

#### h. Football is called soccer in Scotland.
- ✘ False – In Scotland, people usually call it football. The term soccer is commonly used in the USA, Australia, and Canada, but not typically in the UK, including Scotland. In Scotland, it's still football.
