Let’s take a simple piece of paper and use origami to create a paper origami football craft to play flick football!
It’s the game we can all relate back to Junior High with–the teacher talking, the sound of paper slowly being torn from a notebook and the kid in the corner folding paper. Suddenly it’s flicked across the table through his neighbor’s finger goal. It was so much fun.
In celebration of Lionsgate’s American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story, we are happy to share this fun football origami craft inspired by the film.
What you will need to make an origami football
- 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper (blue or yellow)
- Double sided tape or glue
- Scissors
- Football stickers
How to Make a Football Origami Craft
Fold a piece of 8.5 x 11-inch paper in half vertically, then cut the paper down the middle to make two 4.25 x 5.5 inches pieces.
Fold one piece in half vertically with the opening on the right side.
Fold the bottom right corner inward to the seam of the paper column to form a triangle.
Next, fold the triangle up to form another triangle along the paper column seam.
Continue to fold the triangle over itself until you reach the top of the paper column with just a few inches of paper remaining.
Carefully insert the remaining edge of leftover paper between the folds of your paper triangle to secure it in place.
For an extra touch, decorate the paper football with football stickers.
Create a goal post from objects you have (or recruit a friend to use their hands) and practice flicking your paper football to score a field goal.

About Kurt Warner:
Kurt Warner’s story is possibly one of the greatest stories in the NFL.
As a former NFL quarterback for the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals, his career went from an undrafted free agent to a two-time MVP and Super Bowl MVP.
It’s the undrafted player that garnered attention.
He is the ONLY undrafted player to be named NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP.
He is also the ONLY undrafted quarterback to take his team to Super Bowl victory.
That aside, in his first season as a primary starter, he is the FIRST quarterback to win the Super Bowl.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, and his induction into the Arena Football Hall of Fame earned him the honor of being the ONLY player inducted into both.

American Underdog tells the true inspirational story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story demonstrating that anything is possible with faith, family, and determination.
