How to play toddler tackle football

There is only one rule in toddler tackle football, and it can be summed up in the words you say to toddlers playing tackle football with you.

“Who has the ball? Tackle them!”

The ball is imaginary, because they’re distracting and dangerous.

They choose who they want to tackle. If someone isn’t receiving tackle love then it’s time to step in and tell them who has the ball.

The tackle is more of a hug and carry with a slow descent to the ground.

It’s also probably a game you should play with, at most, 3-4 toddlers.

This was a fun game for me, I mean, for them to play.
