The Punt Game 2.0 – (redesigned)

Whats Needed

- 4-8 people - separate into two teams

- a football

- a soccer field

- one die

 How To Play

- Played within the boundaries of:

- Width- the penalty area (18 yard box)

- Length: full width of the soccer field (50 yards)

- Can be played as tackle or two-hand touch

- One representative from each team rolls the die to see who gets the ball first. The team that rolls the higher number receives the ball first, and the team that rolls the lower number must kick off.

- The team that rolled the lower number starts the game with a kick off by punting the ball.

- The other team must return the ball as far as they can until they are touched or tackled.

- As soon as the team with ball is tackled, they must roll the die to see how many downs (attempts to score with the ball) they get.

- For example, if the team rolls a 3, they get 3 downs to score.

- The ball can only be advance by punting. The team with the ball will have a quarterback that will punt the ball to his receivers instead of throwing it. If the ball hits the ground it is a dead ball (incompletion).

- When a receiver catches the ball, laterals are allowed if he/she does it before he/she is tackled.

- However, if they drop it after maintaining possession it is a fumble and a free ball for both teams.

- A team gets a touchdown by getting to the other end of the field (endzone)

- Scoring is based on how many downs the team takes to score a touchdown.

- 1 down is 6 points, 2 downs is 5 points, 3 downs is 4 points, 4 downs is 3 points, 5 downs is 2 points, and 6 downs is 1 point.

- Returned kickoffs and returned interceptions or fumbles by the defense are always worth 4 points.

- On a team’s last down, they can choose to punt the ball to the other team instead of going for a score (works like a punt in football).

- A touchback occurs when the ball is kicked into the endzone- the returning team then comes out ten yards from the endzone and starts their drive from there.

- Whichever team gets 36 points first wins.
