The Super Bowl is just around the corner and if you are entertaining, then this game day paper chain is easy enough for the kids to make, and the perfect addition to your game day decor.
You can make this one of two ways, either use green and brown paper with white paint or a white paint marker, or download the free printables (links below), print them out and have the kids cut out the links and glue them together.
How to make (if using the free printables):
Begin by cutting out each of the paper chain pieces. You will need to print four pages of football chains and two pages of yard lines to make the chain as pictured above that has the 50 yard line in the center.
Next, curl each paper link, applying a small amount of glue on one end and joining the ends together, linking them as you go.
Begin from the 50 yard line and then add links to either side until you’ve completed a chain down to the 10 yard line on each side.
As you can see I added three football links in-between each yard line.
Hang your chain above your food table, or wherever you will be watching the big game.

This crafty decoration is so simple. I already have brown and green construction paper, yay!
I am hosting the Superbowl this year and will plan to use this paper link chain to drape around the TV console. Thanks for the idea!
Well I think this is 3 years after you originally posted your link, and I am using the chains to help decorate for a Vacation Bible School at our church that has a sports theme! I made one to drape over the entrance door of a classroom of 3 year olds, and decided I needed to make 2 more for the other 2 classes!!
Thanks!
Sorry you’re having trouble! I updated the links so they are clearer and included a link on the images as well. You can go to http://cents.life/1TrV3uG for the first one, http://cents.life/1Rq241n for the second one. Just copy and past those into your browser. Let me know if that works!
pls help! The link isn’t working for me:) is it too late to download? Wanting to use for a football themed birthday! Thank you!!
What a fun and easy craft for kids who love football and need a little something to do while they watch the game! Great idea! Thanks Tonya!
Love this! I love crafts that kids can do mostly themselves! Thanks for sharing!
This is a great craft! Thanks. I printed it and think my kids will enjoy making one of these. Popping by from Type A community.
