Referee Showing a Card at a Soccer Match
Coloring guide
In the middle of the scene a referee stands tall, whistle in his mouth, holding a card up in his raised right hand. He's dressed in a striped shirt with a chest pocket, shorts, tall socks and cleats. A boy stands on each side in a V-neck jersey, shorts and cleats, hands on hips, looking up at him. The boy on the left looks a bit worried, while the one on the right has a small smile. A soccer ball sits on the grass by the referee's feet, with tufts of grass around. Further back you'll spot a goal with netting, a low fence line and rounded bushes. It's a nice page for chatting about fair play and following the rules. Make the card bright yellow and give each team a different jersey color so the players are easy to tell apart. Free to print.
