Football Movie Bingo
Admit it—we all love inspirational football movies, even if they are riddled with clichés. We love to see the underdog rise to the top and the coach pull together a winning team from a ragtag group of players. And don’t even get us started on the tear-jerking inspirational speeches that tug at our heartstrings!
We made a fun Football Movie Bingo game for you and your sweetie to play while you watch the movie. We have provided two different Bingo cards, so you and your spouse can have your own unique card. Simply print out the cards and cut out the markers. When you see the cliche in the football movie, place a marker on the corresponding spot. The first to get five-in-a-row wins!!
Origami Paper Flick Football
Who didn’t play paper flick football when you had free time during class in high school?! It’s totally a classic! After watching your movie and playing bingo, it’s time for a friendly game of paper finger flick football.
Go ahead and print out the origami flick football templates and cut them out. There are two, so each of you can make your own. We’ve even added horizontal and vertical dotted lines to make folding easier!
If you already know how to fold these, go for it. However, for those of us who need a refresher, you can check out this tutorial here! It has super easy-to-follow instructions.
Now that you have your flick footballs folded, it’s time to play Paper Flick Football! Check out these easy steps to play:
- Choose a flat surface, such as a table, and sit on opposite ends.
- Make a “goal post” with your fingers by placing your thumbs horizontally and touching the tips together. Then, point your index fingers upwards.
- The player who goes first places the paper football on the edge of the table so that one corner is hanging off the side. Next, flick the corner hanging off the table with your index finger to try and get the paper football to fly through the “goal posts” of your spouse.
- If the paper football manages to go through the goal posts, lands and stays on the edge of the table, you are awarded a touchdown!
- Continue to take turns trying to score touchdowns. Don’t forget to keep score!
Now for the extra (sexy) fun part! Whoever wins the game of paper flick football gets to choose who gets to do the tackling … in the bedroom!
Are you just totally pumped for a night full of the best football movies and football fun? We absolutely are!
