Often when a player runs toward the end zone, crossing the goal line can get confusing. A touchdown happens when the ball crosses the plane of the goal line while the player has possession. The slightest part of the ball crossing the line counts, and no part of a player has to cross the goal line.
For your buffet table, cover it in a green tablecloth and mark off increments with white ribbon or tape to create a “field.” You can add numbers and print off each team’s logo to put in each end zone.
