paper football

Folded classroom projectile

A paper football is a small triangle folded from a sheet of paper, used in a tabletop game where players flick it with their fingers to score touchdowns by sliding it over the edge of a table, or kick field goals through goalposts formed by an opponent's upright thumbs and index fingers.

A classic time-killer in school cafeterias and study halls.
