What is a powder puff game?

A powder puff game is a football game in which typically girls play flag football instead of boys. The game is so named because the players traditionally wear a band of powder on their cheeks to indicate the position they play on the team. The purpose of a powder puff game is to promote gender equality and to encourage girls to participate in sports. This type of game is often played as part of homecoming or other school spirit events. It is seen as a fun way to bring the whole school together and foster school spirit.
