Football Toss – Fun Summer Game
Forget the Martha Stewart perfect, perfect sheet. It was painful to throw out my beautiful vision. My plan was to get a white sheet and paint it to look like an American Flag. Then, real-life with four kids hit, and I found a blue sheet in the basement. I handed it over to my Mother-in-Law to massacre it with scissors. Whatever works, right?! We still had a blast, and everyone agrees that we should keep this event in the race for next year. To make things difficult – Teams had to add points to total the year 1776.

Here’s How We Made this Game…
(We made ours patriotic, but you can change this however you want)
- Five holes were cut big enough to fit a ball through, but small enough to make it difficult
- Then…the sharpie came out to put amounts that will total to 1776 – the year of the Declaration of Independence
- Holes were put in the 4 corners and reinforced with duct tape
- I then pushed string through the 4 corners and tied them into loops
- Slapping mosquitoes off with fierceness…I hung the sheet between two trees and set out footballs
Here’s how we played the game…
- Everyone took turns
- If the total went over 1776, they were told to start all over
- Total Concentration. Who needs a fancy, painted sheet?! Not us.
