Monday Morning Messy Makers: Football

 Today's theme is football. Keep scrolling to see book recommendations, songs, rhymes, activities, and crafts your kids will get a kick out of. (Recommended age:2-5)

Football Player

Tune: Frere Jacques

Football player, football player

Throw the ball, catch the pass.

Run and don’t get tackled, run and don’t get tackled.

Touchdown, touchdown!

 

A Quiet Quarterback

Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It

Oh, I wish I was a quiet quarterback.

Oh, I wish I was a quiet quarterback.

Oh, I’d sneak around and score,

And the fans would want some more.

Oh, I wish I was a quiet quarterback.


Make your own Football!

1. Place two football cut outs on top of each other and punch holes through the two. Tie one end of yarn to one of the holes in the football.

2. Thread the yarn through the holes. Stop when there are about 4 holes left and stuff with a paper towel.

3. Finish lacing and tie a knot to secure the footballs.


Try these out!
  • Make your own football jersey using an old t-shirt and markers. What would the team name be? The mascot? Your number?
  • Warm up like a professional football player by doing jumping jacks, pushups, and more. After, toss your football back and forth.
  • Catch a football game on tv and watch it with your family.
