These DIY autumn leaves napkin are a beautiful addition to your Thanksgiving dinner table. I absolutely love the traditional fall colors but you can change them to fit your holiday décor by changing the glass pearl colors. If you choose to go with a cooler color scheme, I recommend using green leaves instead of orange or red ones. If you do make a variation, I’d love to see what you create. Share in the comments or post a photo on the Facebook page! Don’t stop the Thanksgiving fun yet. Get the rest of your décor en pointe with this Thanksgiving Pallet Wall Art and a DIY Autumn Thankful Wreath.

Free Printable Football Bingo Kit :: Movie Monday Challenge

It’s time again for another Movie Monday Challenge and this month we are celebrating fall movies. In this house, fall means football season. That meant I had to pick a football movie, of course. This month I chose The Blind Side because it is an absolutely amazing, true story. Even if you’re not a football fan, I highly recommend this movie if you have not yet seen it. It truly gives you hope for the good in the world. It also inspired this free printable football bingo kit. It is a great way to keep younger kids entertained at the games when they may not share your game enthusiasm yet. Grab your printables below!

The Blind Side

In case you don’t know about the movie, here is a little bit about it. A well-to-do family helps out a teenager one night. That teenager then ends up becoming a part of their family and they quite literally save his life. He eventually goes on to become an NFL player all because this amazing family gave him a chance. How can you not believe in the power of family and football after that? Again, if you haven’t seen it, you need to.

 

Free Printable Football Bingo Kit

Okay, as promised, here is the link to grab your free printable football bingo kit. Inside you will find 3 different bingo sheets like the one pictured above. There is also a 4th sheet of football markers you can cut out to mark objects as they are found. This allows you to re-use the cards over and over. If you don’t mind printing out new ones for each game, you can print only the bingo sheets and let kids use crayons or markers on them, instead.

Step 1

Print out your free printable football bingo kit.

Step 2

Cut out your football markers from the fourth sheet.

Step 3

Place the markers in a re-sealable bag to keep them from getting lost.

Step 4

Place your bingo sheets and bag of football markers in a pocket folder to carry with your family to games.

Tip:

  • You can also make the sheets more durable without using the football markers. Laminate your sheets as soon as printing and use dry erase markers on them instead. This will make them more durable but can result in messy kiddos if they are as young as ours.

This free printable football bingo kit can be used for more than in person games, too. Whip them out when you’re watching your favorite team at home or for an easy super bowl activity for kids too. You can also use them for an awesome family movie night featuring The Blind Side. Younger kids may not get into the movie but this kit will keep them paying attention to find the items on their bingo sheets. Who would guess one printable set could be so useful? The fun’s not over yet. Check out what my friends have created for this month’s Movie Monday Challenge below!
