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.
