Learning a famous goal celebration from the man who invented it
Fourteen seconds, one jump, one shout, taught on the spot.
Fourteen seconds, one celebration, and the person famous for it doing the teaching. It is short, warm and easy to follow, and almost nothing shows up on our checks. The single flag is the music, which is loud, so a child who avoids sound should give it a miss. Six and seven-year-olds who play football will be attempting the jump before the clip has finished, which is either delightful or exhausting depending on the state of your living room.

Why it works
Being shown something by the one person known for it is a strong hook at six, and this asks nothing more than watching and having a go afterwards. There is a light instructional element, unusual here, and it is the good kind: an offer rather than an order. Fourteen seconds is exactly right for the amount of content involved. Do expect the jump and the shout to be tried out within about a minute.
When to reach for it
- Football about to happen Ideal right before they head outside to kick something around (indoors, rather less ideal).
- Copies everything they see Ideal for the child who repeats every celebration that appears on the telly.
- Almost nothing to brace for Fourteen gentle seconds when you have very little time and less patience.

Questions parents ask
Will this be shouted around my house afterwards?
Almost certainly, and for several days. It is a jump and a noise, which is roughly the most copyable thing any footballer has ever come up with.
How loud does the music get?
Loud enough to be the one thing we flag. Nothing is sudden and nothing visual is recorded, but the soundtrack sits high, so headphones are not the way to watch this one.
Is anything actually being taught?
A celebration, which is not nothing at six. It is a light piece of instruction delivered as a suggestion, and children take that far better than being told to do something.
