Activities to Do with Sports Coloring Pages
Coloring is just the warm-up. Once the pages are printed, use these creative ideas to turn simple art time into an interactive event.
Create Custom Trading Cards
Print the coloring pages at a smaller size (try 4 per page). Have your kids color them in and glue them onto cardstock. On the back, they can write stats for the “player,” like their name, speed, strength, and favorite snack. It creates a personalized deck of athletes they can trade with siblings.
Design a Team Banner
Cut out the finished athletes and glue them onto a long strip of butcher paper or poster board. Let your child draw a background, write a team name in big bubble letters, and hang the banner on their bedroom door. It is a great way to build team spirit for their imaginary squad.
Host an Art Olympics
Turn coloring into a friendly competition. Set a timer for 15 minutes and see who can color their page the neatest or use the most creative colors. You can hand out homemade paper medals for categories like “Most Colorful,” “Best Uniform Design,” and “Fastest Finisher.”
Write a Sports Commentary
Use the action scenes as a writing prompt. Ask your child to look at the picture (like the soccer goal or the baseball swing) and write a short paragraph describing what the announcer is shouting. This builds vocabulary and storytelling skills while keeping the focus on fun.
Decorate a Game Day Party
If you are hosting a Super Bowl party or watching the Olympics, these pages make excellent decorations. String them together to make bunting or use them as placemats for the kids’ table. It keeps the little ones entertained while the adults watch the real game.
