Most of these football coloring pages show players in action. You will find a receiver diving to catch a pass, a punter kicking high near the goal posts, and a quarterback jumping with his arms up. Some pages are calmer, like three players kneeling together on the grass or a team huddle with hands stacked in a circle.
Mascots add a playful twist. A smiling lion wears a number 7 jersey and holds a football at its chest. A panda in a helmet hugs a ball, and a monkey spins one on its finger. A cartoon puppy leaps through the air to catch a football above the grass.
Gear and Game-Day Details
Your child can color the gear players wear. There is a helmet with a face mask and chin strap, shoulder pads with a lace-up front, and receiver gloves with padded palms. Other pages show a scoreboard, a foam finger, a team pennant and a podium with numbers 1, 2 and 3.
Words Children Can Learn
As your child colors, ask them to say these words out loud:
- Pylon: a tall marker set on the field near the end of the playing area.
- Endzone: the area at each end of the field, where touchdowns are scored.
- Pennant: a triangle flag tied to a pole.
- Eye black: dark marks under a player's eyes that help cut glare from the sun.
- Down marker: the chain and marker that show how far the team must go for a first down.
If your child also loves kicking games, try the soccer coloring pages. For more pictures, browse the sports section.
Activities for Football Fans
- Pick two team colors and color a jersey with a big number 1 or number 7.
- Color the scoreboard showing 7 to 0. Ask your child which team is winning and why.
- Use the Coach Playbook page. Have your child draw arrows showing where a receiver should run.
Tips for Coloring Football
Referee shirts have stripes, so black and gray markers work well on those pages. For the big football on the grass, let your child color the laces and seams in a darker shade. Crayons, markers and colored pencils all work on these pages.
Questions Parents and Teachers Ask
Can I print all the football pictures at once?
Yes. Each picture has its own PDF download. This page also has a Download all as one PDF button, so you can print the whole set from one file.
Which pages are best for toddlers?
Start with the Easy pages, made for ages 2 to 4. Try the Football Helmet, the Panda Wearing Football Helmet or the Lion Mascot Holding Football. They have bold lines and fewer small spaces to fill.
Which pages suit older kids who like detail?
Choose the Tricky pages for children ages 8 and up. The Football Stadium has tall floodlights and a scoreboard. The Football Eye Black page has many small shapes with stripes, stars and lightning bolts to color.
What do the referee football coloring pages show?
There are referee pictures for whistles, penalty flags and touchdown signals. The Referee Shirt page shows a striped top on a hanger, with a whistle and a tied-up flag beside it.
Can teachers use these in a sports lesson?
Yes. Use the Podium for Kids page to practice counting to three, or the Football Down Marker page to talk about 10 yards. Students can also name the players in the huddle picture.
