For a preschooler (ages 3-7), understanding a 90-minute game can be tough. But don’t worry! Here are 7 expert-approved activities to turn the World Cup excitement into a fun learning journey with Little Soccy.
1 Explore the 2026 Map 🌎
Geography can be fun! Grab a globe. Show your child your hometown, then zoom out to find the three host giants: USA, Mexico, and Canada. Explain that Little Soccy travels across these borders to make friends.
2 Learn Soccer Words 🗣️
Since the World Cup is in North America, it’s the perfect time to introduce new words. Soccer is universal!
- English (USA): « Goal! », « Soccer », « Friend ».
- Spanish (Mexico): « ¡Gol! », « Fútbol », « Amigo ».
- French (Canada): « But! », « Foot », « Ami ».
3 Bedtime Reading Routine 📚
Reading is the secret to calming down after practice. The Little Soccy book series is crafted to introduce the values of the World Cup—inclusion, effort, and fair play—through storytelling.
4 Backyard Penalty Shootout ⚽
You don’t need a professional field. Set up two backpacks as goalposts in the yard. Every time someone scores, do a « Crazy Goal Celebration Dance »!
5 Cook a « World Cup » Dinner 🌮
Make Friday night a theme night! Tacos for Mexico, Burgers for the USA, or Pancakes for Canada.
6 Coloring Time 🎉
Download our coloring pages for a calm activity. Coloring helps with fine motor skills!
7 Watch Highlights 📺
Instead of a full match, watch 5-minute highlight reels on YouTube. Focus on the goals and the fans cheering!
Conclusion: The Road to 2026 Starts Now
By involving your child today with these simple activities, you aren’t just teaching them about soccer. You are building family memories.
