Ways to Play

We encourage each child to use their imagination when they play with our toys.  There are so many ways to use them!  A few of our customers have been kind enough to share games that they have created on their own, so we wanted to pass them on to you.  We hope you have fun with them!  If you have success designing your own game, we would love to hear from you too.  We would be happy to publish it on our website if you share it with us!

  3. Four index cards
  4. Four index cards

  6. Write “RUN Play” on two of the index cards.
  7. A coin

Rules

  1. Flip coin to determine who goes first
  2. Each player will have one index card that reads run and one that reads pass
  3. Player that wins the coin flip goes first and starts on the twenty yard line
  4. Each player chooses one of his index cards and picks either a pass or run play. (don’t let the other player know which play you are running)
  5. Set up players for the type of play you think the other player is running
  6. Each player will put down his/her index card at the same time.
  7. Roll dice: Defense has two dice, offense has three dice.
  8. Subtract the total of the Offense dice from the total of the defensive dice. If both players called for a run, divide the difference by two. If the players choose different plays run or pass then double the difference between the offensive and defensive dice count.
  9. If the Offense rolls a total less than the Defense then it is a Turnover and the other team takes possession. (rule submitted by Benjamin 5,  Somer sworth NH!)
  10. Each player on offense gets four chances to get a first down, 10 yards.
  11. Each player gets three offensive turns during a quarter, and there are four quarters.
  12. If the game ends in a tie, play college rules overtime. In College Overtime each team gets one possession starting at their opponents 20 yard line.

Example

Player I gets the ball on the 20 yard line. Both players select an index card. Player I puts down her index card and calls a pass, and the defensive Player II puts his card down and calls run.

  1. Player I rolls three dice and they add up to 15
  2. Player II rolls two dice and they add up to 10
  3. Subtract the difference (15 – 10 = 5)
  4. Since the players put down different plays you double the yardage which equals 10 yards and a first down.
  5. Repeat this process until either Player I does not get a first down (four tries) or Player I scores.
