 Kickin' It Old School Minimize

For those of you who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s like I did, you’ll appreciate this t-shirt worn by a coworker yesterday.  We played this all the time in grade school.  Sometimes your opponent would try to cheat by wiggling his "goalpost fingers" as you were about to kick the extra point.  This was when you would aim high and try to make the fooball hit their face in retribution.

 

In addition to paper football, we also played with 3 pennies.  You would slide one of the pennies between the other 2 without hitting them until you reached your opponent's end of the table.

 

I wonder if today's generation even knows how to make a paper football?

OMG paper football...one of my all time favorite classroom games...a true classic! I also liked "Chinese Jacks", and whatever else we played...

One of my proudest moments was having my young son ask if we could play tabletop football with sugar packets at a restaurant. It was a great way to hold a toddler's attention when you're out and about.
