Kids playing flag football as number 8 runs with the ball toward the goalpost

Number 8 Dashes With the Football

Number 8 races across the grass with the football tucked tight while four smiling teammates chase beneath puffy clouds.

🎨 How to color it

Color number 8’s jersey bright red, the football warm brown, the flags golden yellow, and the goalpost sunny orange. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big jerseys and open grass, and don’t worry if the color hops over a line or two. Try giving each runner’s flag a different stripe color so the chase looks extra silly and fast.

The story behind this coloring page

Zumi’s Button Bonanza — Every day, Zumi rubbed the blue button in his pocket before flag football and whispered, “Keep my zooms tucked in.” The button had fallen from his baby coat, and it felt smooth as a jelly bean. Read the full story →

Every day, Zumi rubbed the blue button in his pocket before flag football and whispered, “Keep my zooms tucked in.” The button had fallen from his baby coat, and it felt smooth as a jelly bean. Then one day, it popped out, bounced off his sneaker, and rolled across the grass with a tiny clack.

Because of that, Zumi chased it while carrying the football. Because of THAT, everyone chased Zumi, laughing so hard their flags flapped like noodles. “It’s not a button—it’s a giggle pebble!” shouted Len. At the goalpost, Zumi scooped it up, then passed it around for one lucky rub each. His joy got too big for one pocket, and next time you spot the runner with the ball, see if you can find the zoom tucked in.
