My children had no idea how long a "yard" was until I described the length with my hands...
It's quite simple. A football field is 120 yards long, including the endzone. The offensive team has 4 downs to go 10 yards. It's simple when you put it in terms they know.
Of course, I suppose in Canada, the rules are a bit different -- there's that 1 yard neutral zone thing.
