Activities to Do With American Football Coloring Pages
You have printed the pages, and the coloring is done. Now what? Keep the football fever alive with these fun, hands-on activities perfect for game day or a rainy afternoon.
Create Your Own Fantasy Team Trading Cards
Turn the coloring pages into custom trading cards. After coloring the players, glue the pages onto cardstock or cardboard to make them sturdy. On the back, have your kids write down the player’s name, team, position, and made-up stats like “Speed,” “Strength,” and “Touchdowns.” It is a great way to combine creativity with writing skills.
Design a Game Day Banner
Use the pages to decorate for a Super Bowl party or a birthday. Color several images, cut them out, and punch holes in the top corners. String them together with twine or ribbon to create a festive bunting. You can alternate between helmets, footballs, and players to make a dynamic display for your living room.
Host a Coloring Race
Add a competitive twist to art time. Give each child the same coloring page, like the “Team Helmet” or “Football Closeup”, and set a timer for 15 minutes. The goal isn’t just to finish fast but to be the most creative. You can award prizes for “Most Realistic,” ” craziest Colors,” or “Best Team Spirit.”
Play “Pin the Football on the Goalpost”
Print the “High-flying Football” page and color the ball. Cut it out and place sticky tack on the back. Draw a simple goalpost on a large piece of poster board (or use painter’s tape on a wall). Blindfold the kids, spin them around, and see who can stick the football closest to the center of the goalposts.
Make Stick Puppets for Storytime
Cut out the colored players, cheerleaders, and referees. Tape a popsicle stick or a straw to the back of each one. Kids can use these puppets to act out famous plays, interview players after the game, or invent their own halftime show. It helps build storytelling skills and keeps them entertained during commercial breaks.
DIY Jersey Design Studio
Print multiple copies of the “Team Helmet” or player pages. Challenge your kids to design new uniforms for a made-up team. They have to decide on a team name, choose a color scheme, and create a logo for the helmet. This activity encourages design thinking and gives them a sense of ownership over their “franchise.”
