What you'll need:

• brown construction paper
• scissors
• tape
• Liquid Paper or Wite Out
• four popsicle sticks
• glue
• yellow paint
• paint brush

What you'll do:

1. Cut the brown construction paper in half length-wise, then fold it in half length-wise so that you have a long, thin piece of paper.
2. Hold the paper vertically and fold the bottom corner up to make a triangle.
3. Keep folding the paper making triangles until you run out of paper to fold. Tape the paper football to secure it in place.
4. Use Liquid Paper or Wite Out to paint the laces on the paper football.
5. Make the field goal by gluing three of the popsicle sticks together to make a "U" shape, then add the fourth stick to the bottom of the "U" to make the field goal.
6. Allow the glue to dry, then paint the field goal with yellow paint.
7. Once the glue is dry, have the kids practice ways of getting the paper football through the field goal.

What you'll need:

• paper plate
• brown paint
• hole punch
• paint brush
• white string or cord
• scissors

What you'll do:

1. Paint the back side of the paper plate so that it is completely covered with brown paint.
2. Let the paint dry completely, then cut the paper plate in half.
3. Use the hole punch to make holes along the cut edge of both halves of the paper plate.
