  1. Cut out a rectangle (goal) at each end of the box.

2. Glue down your green paper in side the box or paint the base of the box green. Once dried add your white pitch lines.

3. Now get your pieces of card and draw 2 players, painting them different colours.

4. Once your players have completely dried now glue your pencils to the back of the card players (glue bottom of pencil to back of card).

5. Now you can add some detail on the inside of your box – members of the crowd, stadium signs use your imagination.

6. All you need now is a small ball, if you do not have a ball roll up a small piece of paper into the ball. Place your players into the goal and start shooting.

Spooky cave you have to recite your 10 x table to be able to pass to the next destination where you have to find a key which opens the treasure case. ( remember use your imagination)

4. Once teabag has cooled down, squeeze teabag leaving a small amount of liquid on it and them rub across page.
