Today, you are going to design a ticket for a sporting event. It could be for any sport! Choose a sport that you enjoy watching or a sport that you usually play or participate in yourself. You could create a ticket for a team match, a competition or a sports session that you have taken part in. You could even design one for a PE lesson or our virtual sports day.
Make sure your ticket:
 is eye catching and colourful
 contains a picture of the sport
 shows the time and date of the sporting event
Here are a few ideas for sports tickets. There is also an example of a template design but it would be wonderful if you could design your own.
Have fun and please email us your designs.
