Make Your Own Kids World Cup Vuvuzela and a Giveaway! {World Cup for Kids}

Make Your Own Kids World Cup Vuvuzela - Plus a Giveaway! - Daria's Music on Multicultural Kid BlogsBe sure to enter our giveaway below, part of our World Cup for Kids Project.

If you’re a soccer fan, you probably already know what a vuvuzela is.

It’s that loud stadium horn that became famous when the World Cup was held in South Africa and has appeared all around the globe since then!  And who doesn’t love to cheer on their favorite sports team with a mighty blast of a honking horn?

Make Your Own Kids World Cup Vuvuzela - Plus a Giveaway! - Daria's Music on Multicultural Kid BlogsWhat’s the background of the vuvuzela?  We’ll tell you a bit about this unique instrument and show you how to make your own version to use as part of your World Cup fun.

What’s a Vuvuzela?

It’s hard to tell exactly how the vuvuzela was invented.  One avid soccer fan from South Africa claims he invented the vuvuzela by reshaping a bicycle horn into a mightier instrument.  And, there are some pretty amazing older photos that would definitely support this claim.  As the instrument grew popular, it was used widely as part of worship and church services in South Africa.  Finally, it took center stage at the World Cup and journalists and reporters took turns talking about this “new” instrument.  Some even dubbed it “the world’s most annoying instrument”!

Make Your Own Kids World Cup Vuvuzela - Plus a Giveaway! - Daria's Music on Multicultural Kid BlogsThe Real Deal is Really Loud!

Real vuvuzelas are incredibly loud.  Some are actually banned from certain public areas in South Africa for that reason.  Thankfully, kids’ versions are smaller, quieter and some are plastic, collapsible horns that can be taken easily to any local game or sports events.

Make Your Own Vuvuzela

Can’t find a vuvu near you?  Then make your own version out of some basic materials from around the house.  Here’s what you need:

Materials:

Plastic cup
Cardboard roll from paper towels
Manilla folder
Sturdy tape and
Materials for decoration

Make Your Own Kids World Cup Vuvuzela - Plus a Giveaway! - Daria's Music on Multicultural Kid BlogsYou can find step-by-step directions in the craft pdf below. The plastic cup becomes the bell of the horn and fits into the cardboard roll.  You’ll add a bit of manilla folder to fill out the horn and then decorate with your favorite colors or emblems from the team of your choice.

Check out the free craft pdf’s below for playing tips as well.  And get ready for some good, hearty honks when your favorite team scores a goal!!
