To play football squares with 50 squares, you will need a 10×5 grid, with 50 individual squares. The objective of the game is to have your name in the square where the final score of the football game matches the last digit of each team’s score.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play football squares with 50 squares:
1. Set Up the Grid: Draw a 10×5 grid on a large piece of paper or poster board. This will create 50 individual squares. Make sure each square is large enough to accommodate a name.
2. Assign Dollar Amount: Determine the dollar amount for each square. This can be any amount you choose, depending on the players’ agreement. It’s common to set a fixed price for each square.
3. Sell the Squares: Start selling the squares to the players. Each player can buy as many squares as they want, as long as they pay for them. You can sell them in a specific order, randomly, or any way you prefer.
4. Fill in the Names: Once a player pays for a square, they can write their name inside the square(s) they purchased. Make sure to leave enough space for others to write their names as well.
5. Assign Scores: Assign one team’s scores to the rows and the other team’s scores to the columns. For example, if Team A’s score is 7 and Team B’s score is 3, you would find the square where row 7 intersects with column 3.
6. Track the Scores: As the football game progresses, track the scores for each team. You can use a scoreboard or simply write them down on a separate sheet of paper.
7. Determine the Winners: Once the football game is over, look at the final score. The last digit of each team’s score will determine the winning square(s). For example, if the final score is Team A 24 and Team B 17, the winning square would be where row 4 intersects with column 7.
8. Distribute the Prize: If there is a winner(s), the player(s) who have their name in the winning square(s) will win the prize. The prize can be the total amount collected from selling the squares or a predetermined amount set before the game.
It’s important to note that football squares is a game of chance, and the outcome is determined solely by the final score of the football game. It’s a fun and interactive way to engage with friends, family, or colleagues during football season.
Remember, the rules and variations of football squares may differ based on the preferences of the players. Make sure to establish clear guidelines and communicate them to all participants before starting the game.
