As a football fan, the Super Bowl is one of the biggest events of the year, bringing excitement, great food, and plenty of entertainment. But if you have younger kids, your Super bowl celebrations may look a little different from the traditional big-game gatherings.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a blast and celebrate at home!
Food!
Food is a football party essential, and something kids are sure to be invested in. Try organizing the food in one spot. Or create a fun food football theme. Let them help in making the snacks or make sure their favorite food is out on the table for maximum enjoyment.
Super Bowl Bingo
Kids love playing games, so why not keep the game interesting for kids with Super Bowl Bingo? You can create bingo cards with things they might see or hear during the game (like a touchdown, field goal, a funny commercial, or someone saying “instant replay”) or you can easily find templates online.
Commercials
One of the best parts of the Super Bowl is the commercials! Make commercial breaks interactive by voting on the best ones – set up a simple voting system with index cards or small whiteboards where family members can rate each commercial on a scale of 1-5. See which one wins “best commercial of the night” in your house.
Let Them Ask Questions and Be Involved
I once heard a dad comment that his favorite time watching football with his daughter was when she sat next to him and asked questions about the game. Instead of only focusing on the game, he answered all her questions and gave her a better understanding of the game. This way, kids can feel involved and learn something more about the sport that you care about.
Have Fun!
Celebrating the Super Bowl at home with your family can be just as fun as going out, if not more. With fun activities, tasty snacks, and creative ways to engage even the littlest fans, you can make the big game a good time for everyone.
Whether your family is there for the love of the game or just for the snacks, hopefully these ideas will help make Super Bowl a fun, family tradition.
