Watching the big game is a yearly tradition for millions of Americans all across the United States. From the riveting on field action, funny commercials, and star laced halftime shows, this football game in early February is a big deal for many! If you plan on hosting your own watch party, consider these party games to keep your guests entertained throughout the evening in case the game itself doesn’t!
Bingo
Bingo is a classic game that is fun for all ages that injects friendly competition to the party. Create your own bingo cards with popular brands, themes, or Super Bowl ad clichés (e.g., “car commercial” or “talking animal”). You can also make it specific to the game itself (e.g., “fumble recovery by the visiting team” or “roughing the passer penalty that should not have been called”). The person who correctly guesses the most, wins!
Guess the Product
Anyone who remembers Dorito ads from the early 2010’s can attest commercials during the big game can get weird. Knowing this, make it a fun guessing game for each commercial! Try and guess the product and brand selling the product before anyone else!
Snack Stadium Contest
If you have guests bringing their own snacks, ask them to decorate the tray like a football field. This is a fun theme that’ll let them bring their creativity out! If you want, hold a vote from everyone and have a prize awarded to the winner!
End Zone Scavenger Hunt
If you’re looking for a fun game the kids will love, set up a scavenger hunt! Hide mini footballs around the home for kids to find during the game. Each football gives them a prize, and the child with the most at the end of the game wins!
Penalty Flag Challenge
Create your own house rules that could be seen as a “penalty” just like the game on your screen. Double dipping your chips, spilling a drink, or talking during the halftime show are fun options you can use! Many party supply stores will sell yellow flags you can use.
Mini Football Toss
Set up a small goalpost or buckets, and have guests try to toss a mini football through or into them. You can also consider purchasing this fun goalpost set that’s perfect for any party or tailgate!
Cornhole
A staple for years among tailgaters, party goers, and anyone whose every gone to a barbecue. Cornhole is a fun way to get outside and enjoy friendly competition with your guests! You’ll definitely get your moneys worth on a cornhole set with the warm summer months approaching!
Not every game is one for the history books. Sometimes the game itself is boring or the commercials just don’t hit like they used to. These games will help your party be a blast for everyone no matter how good or bad the game is! Let us know who you want to win by tagging @homebygeneva on Instagram!
