Everwood Friends - For the Young and Young at Heart

World Cup Fever June 20 2026

Who hasn’t loved watching the World Cup? We thought it would be fun to put together our own stadium. The knights are playing the pirates, and we have mermaids and the royal family watching.

Building the Stands

To build the stands, we lined up Gem Cubes and then added 2 4x2s behind them. Then we layered a 8x4 platform, and then flats that are 8 long and 4 long to create stands. Anything you have works!

Making the Goal

The goals are 2 4x2 triangles, with a 4x2 flat in front. We did the crossbar with a 6x1 flat, but a 4x1 flat would work, too.

Who do you think is going to win?
