How to Customize and Print Free Flag Football Party Games

Flag Football Party Games is a free eight-page printable for a non-contact flag football birthday (ages about 7–14, 8–20 guests), and its editable .bobo opens in BoboCreate, a desktop design app for Mac and Windows. This guide covers the making side: opening the file, renaming teams, adjusting the game text for your venue, and printing at the right size. The printable’s own Host Guide explains how to run the games.

Both downloads are the free edition. The editable file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

Cover: a painted night football field from above with chalk plays, a spiral pass and two pulled flags, and the list of what is inside

Host guide: supplies, venue questions, a before-the-party timeline, team splits for 8 to 20 guests, a 60- and 90-minute run of show and safety notes

Flag Tag and Target Toss rules, each with a field diagram: a flag-tag square with a tuck spot, and three hoops at 5, 8 and 11 yards

Route Runner Relay: four lanes on a diagram, how to play, points, and three play diagrams built from the route cards

Party Flag Football: simplified non-contact rules, a field diagram, the quarterback and center rotation with an example, and mixed-age rules

Four team cards (Kites, Ripples, Zigzags, Pinwheels) and four route cards (Slant, Out, Post, Curl) with route diagrams

Scorecard: relay and toss tallies for four teams, football side points, totals, a worked example and quiet jobs

Eight effort and sportsmanship award cards, each with a painted medal

You’ll need BoboCreate, a printer, US Letter paper (card stock for the cards and awards), scissors and a pencil for the scorecard.

Every word in the printable is a live text box, so you can change a team name, a cheer, a field size or an award before you print.

What the free template includes

Cover and Host Guide with parent prep (supplies, venue questions, team splits for 8–20, a 60- and 90-minute run of show)
Flag Tag warm-up and Target Toss, each with a diagram
Route Runner Relay with three play ideas
Party Flag Football: simple non-contact rules and a fair QB and center rotation
4 team cards and 4 route cards (Slant, Out, Post, Curl)
Scorecard with a worked example, and 8 effort and sportsmanship awards

Open the free .bobo file

Download free-flag-football-party-games.bobo, then choose Open or Import in BoboCreate and select it. All eight pages open as one design; the painted field, flags and medals are locked art layers, so a click lands on the words, not the pictures.

Edit team names and cheers

The four teams are Kites, Ripples, Zigzags and Pinwheels. To rename one, change it everywhere it appears so the game still reads the same: on its team card, in the Host Guide’s count-off line, on the relay lane diagram, on the scorecard rows and in the Party Flag Football rules (Coral Side and Aqua Side list their teams).

Keep two teams on each side: the count-off alternates sides so the sides stay even.
Pick original names; team names from pro or college sports don’t belong on a printable you share.
If a name or cheer wraps, shorten the words rather than shrinking the type.

Adjust the game text for your venue

Your venue’s rules come first. If the space is smaller than about 20 × 40 yards, edit the field sizes on pages 3 and 5; if the venue bans cleats or throwing indoors, say so in the Host Guide. When you change a rule, keep the scorecard in step: the relay is 8 calls worth 2 for a catch and 1 for a touch, and Target Toss is 8 throws a team.

Print US Letter at 100%

Export a vector PDF and print at 100% (Actual Size), not “fit to page”, so the cards, route diagrams and cut lines keep their sizes. Card stock (about 65 lb) is best for the team cards, route cards and awards. Print page 8 once for every 8 players so everyone gets an award, then cut on the dashed lines.

Add a matching invitation

The Midfield Lights girls’ flag football invitation uses the same painted night field and coral and aqua flags. It is a separate product; personalize it in the Bobotemp editor or import a purchased template into BoboCreate.
