Making and "kicking off" these tiny paper footballs will keep you and the youngsters occupied during the game's commercials.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Cut a strip of paper about the width of a margin on a piece of notebook paper.

  2. Step 2

    Fold little triangles starting at the bottom and working your way to the top.

  3. Step 3

    Tuck the extra paper into the little pocket of the triangle when you get to the top, and flatten out the football.

  4. Step 4

    Put one point of the long side (the hypotenuse) on the table. Put your finger on the other point to hold the football steady.

  5. Step 5

    Aim the third point of the triangle at your target and flick the football with your free hand.

Tips & Warnings
  • Have the kids color-code their footballs and have contests for distance and accuracy.
