If you have lots of
guests and you are serving a buffet style luncheon or dinner, try
this idea. Roll your
plastic utensils in a
football napkin and tie up with a
football shaped whistle or
football beads. This not only makes it easier to carry
through a buffet line, but offers guest a fun party favor.
If hosting a season game party or Super Bowl, have plenty of seating around your main TV viewing screen. You may have to move tables out of the way to add more chairs. If you are expecting a large crowd, you may want to have several TV's set up in different rooms of the house.
Make a stadium sign with your families last name on it. For example, "Johnson's Arena", or "Johnson's Stadium" or "Johnson's Field". Or order a custom banner for your football event!
Personalize the hand
clappers with a permanent marker for your High School or College team. Add curling ribbon to match your team's colors. These make great fundraiser items for Cheerleading teams at home games! For home parties, make one for each guest to cheer on their team.
Mark off your sidewalk with
chalk yard lines leading to your door.
Give each guess a game day pass.
Includes green lanyard neck strap with white
lettering that spells out ""GAME DAY"". Neck strap measures
approximately 25" long.
Divide guest into two teams the AFC and the NFC. Give each group a list of team in these NFL divisions. Then give each team pictures of team logos or helmets. Set a time limit and see how many teams to logos/helmets matches they can make. You can see a list of teams on my NFL color reference guide.
Try some other
variations like Teams and Cities, Quarterbacks and Teams, or
Stadium Names and Teams.
Set up stations to
have faces painted with team colors or purchase NFL tattoos to
put on.
Of course you'll need a yard or park for this game. The farthest distance wins. You could give each guest two tries.
Make a 10 x10 square grid. Adults choose squares first and write in their names or initials. Then draw numbers using cards, bingo balls or just pieces of paper with numbers 0 through 9 on them for both the vertical and horizontal axis. As you draw a number it goes over that square. Now draw from two pieces of paper or toss a coin ( head is home team, tail is visitor) and see which team goes on each axis.
Now guest can see what last digit of the score they need
to win and for which team.
At the end of each quarter you take the last digit of the score of each team and find the corresponding square. They win! Now, I will leave it up to you if you make this a fun prize winning game or a $ game.
Set up 4 small boxes or colored sacks for each of the two teams playing in the game. It would
help if the box or sack matched the team's color. Mark
each of the boxes/sacks with a letter: F, E, S, or T.
As guest arrive have them fill out 3 slips each with their name on it. If you have a group under 10, then give them 5 slips each.
The guest then put their slips in any one of the colored sacks for any team before the game starts or before the first score for those late arrivals.
Here's how they win. When a team scores, pull a slip from the corresponding bag that matches how the points were scored. Obviously, if they scored a touchdown, a slip is pulled from the touchdown bag
or bag with the letter "T" on it for the team that scored.
Whoever's name is drawn is the winner for that score. Give each
winner some fun
football party favors.
