School will linger for another month here in the UK and with the nice weather (finally!) and the football World Cup it is difficult for teachers to keep the kids’ attention. My husband is doing some World Cup writing activities with his pupils at the moment and my daughter has suggested to her class to write some WC10 limericks too. The task is rather easy. Choose any player you want from the tournament and write a limerick about him. Something like this:
There once was a player called Green
Who was a goalkeeping machine
But he fumbled the ball
And the score was one-all
And then lots of people were mean.
Now it’s your turn, my friends, come on give it a try!

Wouldn't the limerick above apply to quite a few overpaid footballers?
