Football games are designed to help keep your kids entertained as well as teach them the basic fundamentals of football. Football games range from touch football to tackle and can be played with a large group of kids, or one-on-one. One-on-one football games for boys specialize in improving your child's technique and form.
Flag Football
Flag football is a variation on tackle football that replaces tackling with flag-pulling. While the rules are generally the same, flag football is often played with less physical contact than tackle football. Divide a group of kids into two even teams, giving each player a set of flags to wear at waist level. Have the kids play a timed game or have them play up to a specific score. It's six points for a touchdown, one point for an extra point and three points for a field goal.
One-on-One Running Game
This game is designed to improve your child's agility and speed on the field. Have your kid grab a partner and line up on the 20-yard line facing the nearest end zone. Hand your child a ball, and on your whistle, have him run for the end zone. Have his partner attempt to stop him from scoring by tackling him. A successful tackle results in second down. Your child has four downs to get to the end zone before a change of possession.
Three Fly's Up
This football game helps improve your child's ability to catch a football. Have four kids get in a group. Have one of the kids move 10 feet away from the other kids with a ball in his hand. On your mark, have him throw the ball as high as he can towards the other players. If one of the kids successfully catches the ball, he gets a fly. The first kid to three fly's wins the game.
Punting Game
This game is designed to improve your child's punting skills. Have a group of kids line up on the 20-yard line. Have one kid step up and give him a football. Have him punt the ball out of bounds, as close to the end zone as he can. If it goes into the end zone, he gets zero points. If he gets the ball within the 10-yard line he gets a point. If he gets it within the 5-yard line he gets three points. The first kid to 20 wins.
