The Men’s Rugby World Cup kicks off in France on 8th September 2023, with the final taking place on 28th October. 20 teams are taking place in the World Cup including Australia and New Zealand. To celebrate this event, we have put together a free resource pack to support teachers.

What's included in the pack

This pack includes a range of resources from our PE and wellbeing platform Striver as well as some printable resources from Purple Mash, which we've also made available online, for free, in case you wanted to save printing costs.

• Personal Best activities
  Within Striver, each unit has a personal best activity that children take at the beginning and end of each unit to see how they have developed throughout the unit. We have included two rugby-themed personal best activities for you to try during a PE lesson.
• Lesson plans for years 1, 3 & 5
  These lesson plans have been taken from the Rugby unit within Striver, we have included the years that these are aimed at but all can be adjusted for any year group.
• Writing activities
  You'll also find some printable activities from Purple Mash, which encourage children to practice their writing skills and unleash their creativity while exploring rugby-related themes. These activities offer a fantastic opportunity for children to engage in imaginative storytelling, persuasive writing, and descriptive language use.
• Paint and MashCam activities
  Children can also imagine themselves as a player or get creative by designing their own rugby shirt.
