The SPAR FAI School Zone is a new digital learning platform for teachers and parents of primary school children in fourth, fifth and sixth class, offering interactive and engaging lesson plans designed with both the classroom and home schooling in mind.

The lesson plans have been designed in consultation with a panel of teachers and promise to engage, educate and enthuse students.

The new teaching resource will be hosted on the FAI’s website, with innovative football-themed lessons uploaded twice a week over the course of four weeks - beginning on March 15 and running until April 12.

The heavily resourced and user-friendly lessons covering core subjects such as maths, history, geography, English, art, Irish and healthy eating will be emailed to teachers and parents weekly, along with answer sheets.

Republic of Ireland internationals Jack Byrne and Amber Barrett were on hand to help launch the SPAR FAI School Zone. One school in Wexford will win a specially-commissioned SPAR FAI football kit for their school; all they need to do to enter is for teachers to register for the lesson plans online.

One school selected from all participants nationwide will win a grand prize of a Zoom call with three Irish international players for their class.
