Fact and Opinion Sorting Activity: A Football Craftivity

This engaging activity puts a fun spin on identifying facts and opinions! With this print-and-go worksheet and craftivity packet, students color and cut out 16 footballs, two goal posts, and helmets. They read the statements on each football to determine if it is stating a fact or an opinion, and they place it by the appropriate goal post. It also makes a creative bulletin board or school hallway display! It can even be used as a valuable addition to your students' interactive notebooks!

HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:

• TWO WORKSHEETS- Students read the 16 sentences written on the footballs and determine whether statement is a fact or an opinion. They write F or O in the corner of each football.
• A PAGE OF BLANK FOOTBALLS- Students can write their own fact and opinion statements on this page!
• Answer keys
• CRAFTIVITY IMAGES- These two pages include the goalposts and helmets.
• Student-friendly instructions (with photos!!) that detail how to assemble the craftivity.
• Additional notes for the teacher with explanations on materials that need to be gathered and additional instructions.

I do this activity during football season or before the big game, but you can really do it any time of the year!
