Vitesse developed new card games for GOALS programme

Vitesse Betrokken launched their Vitesse GOALS at three schools in Arnhem in spring. The aim of the foundation is to provide children with an educational football party and to introduce them to a healthy lifestyle in a playful manner. The foundation always tries to incorporate ‘active learning’ into the games. Each part of a Vitesse GOALS lesson supports a theoretical part from the Vitesse GOALS workbooks.

The organisers believe that it is really necessary to let the participants play a more active role while learning the different themes. In this way, the children can be involved and challenged to work with the theory. To support this aim, a memory and quartet game was designed with Vitesse themes and aspects of a healthy lifestyle. The first schools have started working with this and it has been well received. The children are activated by the games and hardly realise that in the meantime they are putting the theory from the books into practice. In this way, the pupils unconsciously create their own educational football party!
