How to Make a Paper Football

Video Transcript

"So, you can sit in Math class and take notes, or you can play football. My name is Robert Segundo, and I'm going to teach you how to make a paper football. Now, what you can do is you can take your normal sheet of paper, your eight by ten sheet, and you can cut this up and make small footballs, but I'm going to show you how we used to do it, because they wouldn't let us play with scissors when I was in school. What we're going to do is we're going to take, we're just going to kind of fold our paper over a few times to kind of get your, something along those lines, doesn't have to be perfect, I mean, you're just kind of doing this at your desk while your teacher drums on anyway. So, what we're going to do is we're going to take this and we're going to fold this over like so, into our triangle shape. Fold it down, and fold it over again, down and over, down, over one more time, and now what we have here is you can see we have this little pouch here and we have this piece left over. What you do is you take this corner here and you fold it down, and just wrap it over, and tuck it back under your little pouch there, have to work with it a little bit, smash it down real good. Now, while your teacher is talking about something that you'll never actually use in the real world, you can have your boy sitting over in his other desk in the corner and put his arms out like that, and just aim your little paper football and there you go, field goal. My name is Robert Segundo, and enjoy your paper football."
