Backyard Football Game coloring page: black and white line art of kids playing football in a backyard, three kids in a leafy backyard, one throwing a football in a long arc and one running with arms out to catch it, a third cheering beside a big pile of raked leaves, a wooden fence and an autumn tree behind, no team logos, no numbers or letters on clothes

Backyard Football Game Coloring Page

Ages 4–8

In lots of families the afternoon after the big meal means one thing: a game of football in the backyard. On this page one child throws the ball in a long arc while a friend with a ponytail runs with her hands up to catch it, and a third child cheers with both fists in the air from inside a huge pile of raked leaves. A wooden fence and a tall autumn tree frame the yard, and a few maple leaves tumble across the grass. The sweaters and hoodies are plain, so kids can invent their own team colors. It is a lively page for sports fans and a nice match for the turkey in a football helmet page already on the site.

Try this: Make up a team name and colors together, color the sweaters to match, then play a gentle game of catch outside.

Printing and age tips

Colored pencils work well for the small leaves in the pile; save markers for the big sweaters and the football.
