FREE England World Cup 2022 Colouring Sheets

The World Cup 2022 takes place in Qatar from November 21st to December 18th 2022. This year, 32 teams from all over the world will compete in eight groups to win the coveted Jules Rimet trophy.

This will be the first World Cup ever to be held in the Arab world, and due to Qatar’s intense summer heat, the World Cup will be held from late November to mid December, making it the first tournament not to be held in May, June, or July. The World Cup 2022 is to be played in a reduced timeframe of around 28 days.

If the World Cup is going to be anything like last years delayed Euro 2020 tournament, it’s going to grip the nation and be pretty much the only topic of conversation in my house, which is no bad thing.

I’ve put together some colouring sheets to celebrate England taking part in the World Cup, so you can print them out and get the kids to colour them in. Or you could colour them in yourself, no one is policing this!

You can download the pdf here. All you need to do it press print and find some colouring pens or pencils and you’re good to go!

This World Cup will be the last one to involve just 32 teams. The 2026 tournament which will take place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada will have 48 teams battling it out for the trophy. Whatever happens, this tournament will be one to remember!

FREE Printables: St George’s Day Colouring Sheets

St George’s Day is on 23rd April each year, it is believed this he died on this day in 303 AD. St George is the patron saint of England and his cross is part of the Union Flag. He is celebrated throughout the world and there are many feast days devoted to him. It used to be a national holiday in England. These days it’s not celebrated as such, but flags with the St George’s cross are flown on some buildings.

St George is a heroic figure, and I’ve created some colouring printables for families and colouring enthusiasts to do to celebrate St George’s Day.

Here in England, we know St George as a brave knight who (may or may now have) stayed a dragon. Even though he is the patron saint of England, he wasn’t born here, he was born in what would now be Turkey. Saint George is also the patron saint of other countries including Venice, Portugal, Catalonia, Genoa and Ethiopia.

St George is considered to have a number of positive traits, and stories told to children about him always underline his bravery and courage, not to mention his devotion, piety, leadership, truthfulness and dedication to the cause. St George was said to be one of the heroes of the crusades, which is one of the reasons he’s known to be such a heroic character.

World Photography Day 2013

Today is World Photography Day. I love photography and I want to get into it a bit more.

This is probably one of my favourite photographs which I’ve taken. It is of the North Devon Coastline looking towards Hartland Quay. If you look carefully you can make out Lundy Island on the horizon.

It’s such a peaceful spot. I love leaning against that gate and just contemplating life.
