Together, was the result more than Willie Wood’s jump of 10 feet high? Put <, >, or = symbol in the circle to show how it compared.

Why was the white football used and why doesn’t the NFL use it anymore?

CAN YOU FIND THE HIDDEN ARTIFACT?

The white football was first used on Nov. 6, 1929, when the first NFL game was played at night. The league believed that players would be able to see the football better. However, players complained that it was difficult to distinguish from white uniforms. The white football was used well into the 1950s until it became unnecessary with advancements in stadium lighting.

(check the box when you find the artifact)

ACTIVITY 2 Four stadiums in Green Bay have been home to the Packers. Figure out how many years the first three stadiums were occupied.

STADIUMS: Hagemeister Park1919-1922

Bellevue Park1923-1924

Old City Stadium1925-1956

New City Stadium was built in 1957. In 1965, the stadium was re-named Lambeau Field. 1957-present

DISCIPLINE & LOVE

What did Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews hold up on the podium after winning Super Bowl XLV?


Rodgers and Matthews held up a championship belt that had been passed along to them by the equipment staff. During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, a fan had given Packers security the belt, and security passed the belt to equipment. Rodgers was well known for putting on an imaginary “championship belt” while celebrating.

Perseverance In My LifePerseverance is the ability to continue working hard at something, even though it is difficult. The Packers went through a streak of losing seasons in the 1970s and 1980s, and some thought the team would never regain success. But when Ron Wolf was hired as the new general manager by Bob Harlan in 1991, he didn’t give up on the Packers. He changed attitudes and turned the team into champions again through his strong leadership. His continued effort and tireless dedication allowed the Packers to succeed against all odds. He showed perseverance by always believing in the team.

When have you shown perseverance?Is there someone you know who tried very hard to overcome obstacles to succeed in something?
