DIY Penalty Flags
We all wish we could help refs see all of those missed calls. With these, we can make ourselves feel better–and even let our kiddos make the calls themselves.

Materials
Yellow and red felt sheets
Rubber bands
Ping pong balls

Directions
1. Take one of your felt sheets and place a ping pong ball in the center.
2. Wrap the felt sheet around the ping pong ball and secure it with a rubber band.
3. Repeat the process to make as many penalty flags as you wish.

Pin the Football Through the Goalpost
Much like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, this game is all about pinning the football to “score” the extra point!

Materials
Yellow and brown construction paper
Tape
Pen or marker
Scissors
Blindfold
Poster board (optional)

Directions
1. With your yellow construction paper, cut out four long strips.
2. Tape the four strips of yellow construction paper together to resemble a goalpost.
3. With the brown construction paper, cut out several football shapes. Decorate the shapes, if preferred, or simply write the guests’ names on the footballs to differentiate. Add a piece of tape to the back of each one so they will be able to stick.
4. Tape the goalpost to a tape-friendly surface, or tape the goalpost to a poster board that you can hang at kid-level.
5. For the game, blindfold each participant while they hold their football. Then, spin them around five times before allowing them to walk toward the goalpost and stick their football to the game area. See who can score the extra point! The footballs that land between the posts win.

#1 Foam Finger
Cheer on your favorite team with this DIY foam finger.

Materials
2 Foam sheets (choose your favorite team’s colors!)
Foam finger template (download here)
Paint pen
Pen
Scissors
Glue

Directions
1. Using the foam finger template, trace the template onto the foam sheets. You will need two!
2. Once they are drawn, cut out your foam fingers.
3. On one of the foam fingers, using a paint pen, draw a #1 on one side.
4. On the other side, add a line of glue on the outer edge of the foam, leaving a space to put a hand in. Then take the other foam finger, line them up to match, and glue them together.
5. Once it dries, you have your very own foam finger to wear.
