Article: Since the game is several hours long, your guests likely don’t want to stand the entire time. Use your dining chairs, folding chairs, or lawn chairs for extra seating. Place the chairs around your living room so guests can spread out. If you don’t have enough chairs, ask your guests to bring their own. While you might not want to watch the pre-game, it will help everyone get in the mood to watch the game. Have it on in the background as your guests are arriving. This also ensures you won’t miss the Super Bowl kickoff. Some guests may sit down and watch the pre-game, while others may mingle. There are 2 ways to have a betting game. One option is to ask guests to pledge money, such as $5-$10 to make a bet. The other option is to buy a prize in advance and allow guests to “bet” for free. Ask each guest to pick the winner and predict the game score. The person who is closest to being correct wins the pot or prize.  Make it clear to guests that the closest guess wins, whether they’re higher or lower than the actual score. To prevent disputes, ask guests to write down their bet before the game starts. Drinking games are super fun and can spice up any party. Make a list of your drink triggers before the game starts and share it with everyone. Then, every time a trigger happens, yell, “Drink!” and take a sip.  Invite non-drinkers to take a sip of soda or water so they don’t feel left out. Triggers might include, “Touchdown,” “foul,” “a player cries,” “a commercial makes someone cry,” “there’s an animal in a commercial,” “there’s a field goal,” “your team scores,” and “someone yells at a referee.” Some guests may get antsy when they sit for too long. Plus, you may have guests that aren’t big football fans. Keep them entertained with beer pong. Place 9 solo cups in a triangle shape on either side of a table. Provide guests with a ping pong ball that they can try to bounce into the cups. If they get it in a cup on the opposite player’s side, their opponent has to drink. If the players don’t drink, you could have them eat a snack or drink a soda instead. Super Bowl commercials have a lot of repeating themes, like adorable animals, tear-jerking scenes, and cars. A bingo game helps everyone have fun, even during commercial breaks. Make your own commercial bingo sheets or use a prepared bingo sheet that’s available online.  The boxes on each sheet should be in a different order. Otherwise, everyone will get a bingo at the same time.

Article: Games that kids won't need much help with (like Candy Land) are best if you are trying to occupy your kids so you can get things done around the house. Try not to use difficult games like Monopoly, unless there is an older child who can help the younger ones.  Card games are good, too. You can find specialty card games for kids, or you can teach your kids to play simple card games like War and Go Fish with a standard deck of cards. If you don’t have any games on hand, teach them to play a game that doesn’t require any materials, such as I Spy, Simon Says, or Red Light, Green Light. You can find puzzles for all different ages and difficulty levels. You can also have children create their own puzzles with cardboard or construction paper, and if you have multiple children, you can ask them to complete each other’s puzzles. This could be playing football, skipping, playing on a trampoline, or playing games with each other such as chase or hide and seek.  If you have smaller children, fill a large bucket or something quite big with water and add plastic boats, rubber ducks and other toys. You can also use this same bucket to put sand in and let them build miniature sand castles. Give them some sports equipment and tell them to make up a new sport. You can get creative with the materials by using buckets for targets or trash can lids for bases, for example. You can either hide items around the house, or just create a list of items they will be likely to encounter in the area where you’re playing. You can use furniture or any other household items as obstacles, and set up your course either indoors or outdoors. Make up new rules for each round or rearrange obstacles to keep things interesting. For younger children, encourage critical thinking by making up your own games with materials you already have around the house. You can write numbers or letters on scraps of paper and ask them to put them in the proper order, or give them pictures cut out from magazines and ask them to group them in a specific way. The possibilities are endless.
