Have you ever made or played paper football? Well if you haven’t the object of the game is to have a paper triangle and flick it over as far as you can across the table. There are two main problems with it. One you can get a bunch of paper cuts. Two it gets boring from time to time. Three it’s only a two-player game. I redesigned it into modern times. Now all those problems are in the past! Get ready to have a blast! The object of Cannon Ball is to shoot the ball out of the cannon and get it across the line. But wait that's not all! The hard part of the game is to not get the cannon to pop! Are you feeling up for the challenge?

Supplies

1 roll of tape

Balloons

Bouncy balls

Grab one roll of tape. Roll out six inches for each player. Then make a tiny line and put it over the ends of all the lines. Place another line of tape 12 inches away parallel to the first.

Twist the balloon tight so no air comes out.

Cannon

Grab one bouncy ball for each player and insert it into the nozzle. After that, untwist the nozzle and the ball will block any air from coming out. Now you have a cannon!

How to Shoot Your Cannon

How to shoot your Cannon

It's pretty simple to shoot. Each player kneels behind the line. First, you hold the balloon up your hand and then start squeezing. Second, you take your other hand and put it higher than the other hand. Third, take the bottom hand and put it over the higher hand. Fourth Boom! It should be out of the cannon and past the line. The ball that goes the furthest wins!
