Daily Idea #173: Paper Football

We used to play with a paper football ALL the time in class! I have been trying to find a good way to explain how to create said football and found this link which has the best explanations and short videos for a step by step tutorial. Once you have made the paper football, you are ready for the game.

Here are the rules:

Each player takes turns flicking the football across the table to try to get it to stop partway over the edge of the table. You score a touchdown every time this is achieved. If the football goes all the way over the edge of the table, you get a “kick off”. Place the paper football on your palm and hit your fingers on the underside edge of the table to launch it while the other player holds their fore fingers and thumbs in a “U” shape (or in the shape of a goal). If you score a touchdown, you also get to try for a field goal.
