DIY Cardboard Football Game

First, glue together 3 rectangular strips of cardboard.

Poke a hole in the top and add a magnetic ball using glue.

Next, glue together 3 cardboard circles.

Then secure around it with tape.

Poke a hole in the circle and add another magnetic ball. Then cover with coloured card. Repeat these steps again, so you have 2 sticks and 2 pucks (use a different coloured card for the second)

Next, with a new piece of cardboard, use one stick to measure a rectangle and cut that out. Repeat this step again.

Glue each piece onto either end of a rectangular board. (We have covered our cardboard in foil, but this is an optional step for decoration).

Then add two extra pieces to act as the sides.

Now, taking your paper cup, cut out the bottom and then cut them in half horizontally, then again vertically.

Glue them onto either end of the board. Then use your pens to add decorations.

Placing the board to one side, now cut your elastic band in half and tie a toothpick to one end.

Thread on one set of coloured beads, then tie another toothpick to the other end to secure them. Repeat this step with the second set of coloured beads.

When complete, secure each toothpick into either end of the game board.

Now, add your pucks on to the board and your sticks through the gap underneath. Place a marble in the middle, and you’re ready to play! When a goal is scored, move the beads along to keep count.
