Teacher Feedback
We have had some amazing feedback from teachers from across England on the benefits of receiving these goodies and entering our competitions – here are some of our favourites:
“Although we didn’t win, our children have absolutely loved taking part. The packs have gone down a storm and I’m constantly getting children coming up to me to show me which players they’ve got.”Ā
“The packs have gone down very well in school. We had a few spares left over from the ones originally sent, which have made a fantastic motivational tool and prizes for outstanding work.”Ā
“Thank you for organising this competition. Our sports-mad Y6 children really enjoyed the opportunity to design a trophy and challenge each other with the packs.”Ā
“A really popular competition, thank you so much for organising it!”Ā
What we’ve done before…
The first classroom challenge required primary school children to design a Panini sticker book album cover for the 2018 world cup alongside a world cup song and a match report of the children’s favourite historical world cup match. The following year the challenge involved designing a football shirt and was situated around Panini’s road to Euro’s 2020 campaign. 2021’s challenge was to ‘Design a Football competition’ which ran throughout April and May 2021, saw over 8,000 entries from hundreds of schools across England. Linara from Fossdene Primary School was the winner of the challenge with her amazing design below:
January 2022 saw us launch the “Design a Football Boot” Classroom challenge which saw over 10,000 entries, the highest number of entries received for a classroom challenge to date! The winner was Oliver from St Gilberts RC Primary School in Manchester- check out his amazing football boot design below and some pictures from his Panini school presentation.
Good luck to all the schools that enter – we can’t wait to see your entries!
