Extra Time Match Day
Use these prompts with the Extra Time Footballing Stories to inspire creative conversations and activities.
As part of the Extra Time project, we invited people to share their experiences of football, from following their team to Wembley to listening to the football fans outside in the street.
You can listen to the stories via one of the Extra Time Footballing Story boxes or through the Extra Time Footballing Stories from Suffolk playlist
The stories are curated into 6 distinct themes – and each theme has a variety of creative prompts, to help develop conversations and activities.
Extra Time Match Day
Activity
This activity begins by drawing simple things that bring you pleasure. Once you’ve sketched out a few of them, you can make yourself a postcard.
Before you begin … these prompts are merely ‘serving suggestions’ – some may suit your circumstances better than others; please feel free to adapt them in any way that works for you.
Tips for active listening
Carefully watch the person speaking; look for moments of spark in the eyes and the expression, the face will light up.
Ask more questions about these points; for example;
Who gave you the…?
How did you manage to….?
Why was that so special to you?
Extra Time Match Day creative prompt – A Big Event
This activity invites people to recall a big event in their life and, through the description, recall the feelings associated with that event.
So, think of a big event. Can you describe the day?
What was the weather like?
What shoes were you wearing? Did they pinch?
What feelings did you have in your body?
Were there butterflies in your tummy?
Or did you have a headache?
Who were you with? Were they people that you knew well?
Or people you just met for the first time?
Did the day have a particular smell?
Were you meeting in a restaurant or a canteen?
Or maybe walking with some people along the beach?
How did the day feel for you?
