The Switch - Featuring Cristiano Ronaldo
In this advert for Nike we see Cristiano Ronaldo clashing heads with an English ball boy whilst playing for Portugal against England. When they wake up the next day both of them feel a little different. Charlie and Ronaldo have swapped places. The story is one of hard work as the teenage boy in Ronaldo's body works hard to play as well as his hero. A story that shows anything is possible with persistence and determination.

The Official Tournament song - David Guetta.
We're born to fly
So let's keep living 'til it all falls down Let's close our eyes And let the moment drive the whole world out We're in this together Hear our hearts beat together We stand strong together We're in this forever This one's for you This one's for you [Breakdown] [Verse 2: Zara Larsson] Waving colored flags We won't surrender, there's no standing down There's a playing field It's full of winners, we're breaking new ground [Chorus: Zara Larsson] We're in this together Hear our hearts beat together We stand strong together We're in this forever This one's for you This one's for you [Breakdown] [Bridge: Zara Larsson] In this together Woah, woah Oooooh [Chorus: Zara Larsson] We're in this together Hear our hearts beat together We stand strong together We're in this forever This one's for you |
Discuss the lyrics with students and debate their meaning.
Think about who is 'in it together' is it just the players? Children could write poems that show how they feel about winning or standing together. You might just want to play this in your classroom on a hot day with the windows open to chill out whilst the children are completing their writing tasks. |
