Study 4: Soccer

Okay Americans, now remember... "Soccer" is called "Football" once you cross the border. As a New England Patriots' fan, it pains me to say that, but hey, we have to be sensitive to other cultures. And the girls of Study 4 wouldn't want you to forget this either as they all worked hard on their display to teach us about fo... foot.... footb... oh, I can't do it. You know what sport I'm talking about.

Perspective of a soccer-player...

Perspective of a soccer-ball.....!?

Of all the rooms I visited this day, this one was the funniest. Right when you walk into the room, you are greeted by a soccerball as big as a riding lawn-mower that has the words "tap me" written all over. When you give it a healthy whack, the ball springs up. I guess... "in Soviet Russia, ball kicks you!!" (Family Guy reference).

Whatever you do, don't make it angry!

Creative idea for poster ideas.

And even better... answers to questions hidden underneath.

Though the living ball may not teach us anything about soccer, the rest of the room certainly does. Walls were peppered with factoids and data charts about the different rules of the game, history of the professional leagues, and some trivia about famous players and events. For the fanatics, there was a station set up for face-painting. A model of the playing field with players in position helped explain the game even further.

The face-painting area.

So close... that's too bad.
