Cut out the Goals / Carlos M. Saavedra

Find the center point on the box and sketch out a goal. The smaller the goal, the more challenging it will be to score! Cut out with an X-Acto knife.


Cover the Box With Duct Tape / Carlos M. Saavedra

First, cover the box with the white tape, then add a row of blue tape on the top edge. This will make your box nice and sturdy.


Make the Field / Carlos M. Saavedra

Cut the green paper to fit inside the bottom of the box. Using a ruler and the white paint pen, draw the goal boxes and the center line. Use a cup to trace the center circle.


Make Holes for the Dowels / Carlos M. Saavedra

Measure out four holes on each side, roughly evenly spaced out. Using the end of a pair of scissors, poke holes in the box and insert the dowels.


Paint the Players / Carlos M. Saavedra

Pick your team colors and paint the clothespins. Cut each cork in half, paint on some hair.


Line Up the Players / Carlos M. Saavedra

Clip the players onto the dowels, then using the glue gun, attach the heads. Find a friend to play you, drop in the ball, and see who can score a gooooooooaaallll!!
