Basketball Scoreboard Coloring Page

Four empty boxes and nothing written in them, which is the whole point. The scoreboard stands on two slim legs with small feet, its frame drawn with soft rounded corners, and the face is divided into four large blank panels arranged in a square. Home score, away score, quarter, clock: a child decides what goes where and letters it in. That turns the sheet into a writing activity as well as a coloring one, and it works especially well printed alongside a game of any kind. Perched on top is a basketball resting on a five pointed star, the only decorative touch on the page and the obvious place for the boldest color. A ground line runs behind the legs. Everything is drawn in a slightly wobbly hand rather than with ruled precision, which keeps it friendly rather than technical. With areas this large the sheet suits a young child, and older ones will spend their time on the lettering instead.
