one

First cut a piece of cardboard the size of the bottom of the box and stick it inside it, as you see in the drawing. Also stick some cardboard strips to the sides and ends of the box.

two

Then cut a flap about 8 cm wide at the two ends of the box, as seen. Then paint the cardboard stuck to the bottom of the box and let it dry.

3

Draw a line that goes from side to side in the middle of the box. In the center of the line, paint a circle. Draw some semicircles in front of the two goals or arcs, where the flaps are.

4

Then to make the net, cut and open a mesh bag (a). Place a border behind the flap and stick it there below the box. Glue the other edge to the sides and top part (b).

5

To make the players, cut the cardboard tube into six smaller tubes about 6 cm long each. Cut out six egg holders and stick one to the top of each tube.

6

Then draw on cardboard six circles, using the tubes as a guide. Cut out the circles and glue them to the bottom of the tubes without forgetting to put inside (before gluing them), plasticine (a), well secured with glue.

7

Paint one face to all the cardboard tubes. Paint three players with the colors of one team and the other three with the colors of the rival team.

Then measure the length of the sides of the box. Divide in half to find the center. Draw lines in the center from side to side of the box. Look at the drawing. Make holes on both sides of the box, at a distance of 6 cm from the center line and 5 cm from the bottom. Look at the drawing.

Put the sticks through the holes in the box, 2 on each side make holes in each player (a). Put a team by the clubs on one side, and the other team by the clubs on the other side (b).

Finally, put each stick in the opposite hole and roll a rubber band at the end of each, to prevent them from coming out of the holes. Put a few corks on the sides opposite the gums, like mangoes. Pull the sticks so that the rubber bands are like stops on the sides of the box. Stick the players to the clubs in the correct position.

How to play: put the box on a table. Place the ball inside the circle on the center line. The players are placed on both sides of the table, holding the stick controls with each hand. Both start at the same time. It is about twisting, pushing and pulling the sticks so that each player kicks the ball, to put it in the opponent's goal or goal. The first team to score three goals will be the winner.
