The Super Bowl is here, and you can’t wait to yell “Touchdown!” with all your family and friends. But
how do you make your party touchdown-worthy? With some themed decorations, delicious food, and

in no time. Everybody will have a blast, no matter if the Bengals or Rams win! Take a look at these
awesome ideas so you can throw the best Super Bowl party ever.

Use green felt, duct tape, and stickers to make your own table cloth. Your guests will wonder how you
brought the field inside and on the table! All you have to do is cover your table with green felt. Next, take
white duct tape and stick it onto the felt horizontally to create yard lines. Lastly, place number stickers on
each yard line and voila! You have an epic party table everyone will love.[1]

You can find green felt, white duct tape, and number stickers at your local craft or dollar store.

Add extra pizazz to your Super Bowl party with creative decorations. Tape banners, balloons, and
streamers to your walls or hang them from the ceiling. You can go to your local party store for football
themed party supplies, or you can make them yourself. Here are some fun ways you can decorate your
space:

Hang a banner above your food table.

Create a balloon arch for your doorway or around your TV.

Drape streamers over your front door or in an archway.

Have fun with guests by serving alcohol from the playing teams’ home states. Your guests will not only
have a great drink in their hands, but they’ll also learn something new about the teams. Look up the
most popular alcoholic drinks in a team’s area. Make the drinks ahead of time, or take your party to a
whole other level by hiring a mixologist. Check out some of these fun drink ideas based on team
locations:[2]

Cincinnati Bengals: Daiquiri

Los Angeles Rams: Mojito

Cut 4x4 squares of astroturf so cups look like they’re on the field. This is a creative way to bring some
extra flair to your party. Find astroturf at your local hardware store and use cuts of it as coasters or even
placemats. Your tables will stay dry and clean, and your guests will be super impressed by your crafting
skills.[3]

Cut out larger rectangles to make astroturf placements.

Football shaped cheese balls and deviled eggs will please any fan. These snack ideas are a fun way to get
your guests even more excited about the game while filling their bellies. All you need is a little creativity
and a whole lot of spirit.[4]

Cheese balls: Follow a cheese ball recipe of your choice, but mold the mixed cheese at the end into the
shape of a football. Add pieces of thinly sliced cheese on top to be the laces.

Deviled eggs: Stick to a traditional deviled eggs recipe, but top with sprigs of green onion in the pattern
of football laces.

Bring your guests’ favorite teams to them with famous foods. For example, if the Packers are playing, set
out a giant cheese board because Wisconsin is known for their cheese. This is a fun way to get creative
with your snack ideas and possibly give your guests something new to try. Check out these snack ideas:

Cincinnati Bengals: Chili

Los Angeles Rams: French Dip Sandwich

Method

Dress up your desserts like footballs.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 12

Chocolate-covered strawberries and ice cream sandwiches that look like footballs are bound to impress.
Adding some extra details to your desserts can put your party on a whole new level. You can theme your
treats around the sport itself or go for team colors. Here are some ideas you can try:[5]

Chocolate-covered strawberries: Follow a generic recipe but add football lacing with white chocolate
after the chocolate has hardened.

Cupcakes: Put your cupcakes in the shape of a football and ice them for a pull-apart cake, or make an
icing swirl with each of the playing teams’ colors.

Ice cream sandwiches: Pipe icing on ice cream sandwiches to look like the laces of a football, and then
slide a wooden spoon or popsicle stick into the ice cream center.

Dirt cup: Make a classic dirt cup, then add green icing or whipped topping to look like grass, and top with
a chocolate-covered Milano cookie iced to look like a football.

Method

Paint your favorite team’s colors on your face.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 8

Not only is this a fun and silly activity, but it’s also a great way to show team spirit! Use washable face
paint to paint each half of your face your team's colors, or draw your team’s logo or mascot on your
cheek. This is sure to put you and your friends in a competitive and jolly mood. Here are the team colors
and mascots for this year's Super Bowl:
Cincinnati Bengals: Black and orange; Who Dey the Bengal Tiger

Los Angeles Rams: Royal blue and gold; Rampage the Ram

Method

Play a game of football toss.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 9

Use pool noodles, duct tape, and rebar to switch up classic cornhole. Bend 3 of the noodles to turn them
into rings, duct taping them to keep their shape. Tape each of these rings together so you have 3 rings
lined up next to each other. Next, shove 2 pieces of rebar or stakes into the ground. Slide a noodle over
the rebar and tape the 3 rings to it. The rings should be attached to and between the rebar. All that’s left
to do is toss a football through the rings and see who has the best aim.[6]

In the end, your DIY game should look like 3 floating rings between the upper part of a goal post.

Set the game as far back as you please! If you have younger party guests, maybe only set it 1 foot (0.30
m) away from the throwing line. For older guests, try 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.0 m).

Method

10

Vote on your guests’ team spirit.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 10

Send your guests a list of Super Bowl superlatives the night before the party. Will they be voted best
dressed, most spirited, sorest loser, or most likely to fall asleep? Set up a voting box and have your guests
vote for the winners during the game. After the game, count the votes and present each winner with a
certificate, mock Super Bowl trophy, or even a special cocktail.

Method

11

Place bets with Super Bowl squares.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 11

Get competitive and show off your football knowledge with a friendly wager. The game is simple. There
is a 10x10 grid, and each square costs $5. Each square is associated with a number from 0 to 9. Before
the Super Bowl starts, everyone pays for the squares they want, writing their name in those squares. At
the end of each quarter, the square that matches the last number of the team’s score wins that round
and the money that went into it.[7]

For example, if the Rams have 41 points and the Bengals have 31, the names in each 1 square win.

Print out or create your own squares game. For ideas, try searching “super bowl squares game.”

Lower the stakes by swapping real money with Monopoly money.

Method

12

Quiz your guests with trivia.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 12

Do a bit of research on the playing teams and get creative. This is a great game to play, especially if you
have some die-hard football fans attending. All you have to do is come up with some questions. These
can be as easy, difficult, or silly as you’d like. Split your guests off into teams, and keep track of how many
points each team gets right. Make sure you have a fun prize picked out for the winning team. Here are
some questions you can add to your game: [8]

How many times has each team been to a Super Bowl?

Who are the quarterbacks for each team?

What are the teams’ mascots?

Method

13

Play commercial bingo.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 19

Print bingo cards for each guest with brands and keywords in each square. The Super Bowl commercials
are famous for being silly and over the top. Add some extra fun to these ad breaks by seeing if you can
find all the details on your bingo card. Use pretzels or snack crackers as your bingo chips and see who
reigns victorious at the end of the night.[9]

For example, say a Coca-Cola commercial comes on. If Coca-Cola is on your bingo card, you’ve won a
square.

Maybe your bingo card has a square that says “celebrity.” You would mark that square if there’s a
commercial that features a celebrity.

You can create the bingo cards yourself using free platforms like Canva or Word, or find pre-made cards
online by searching “super bowl commercial bingo.”

Method

Set up a photo booth.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 14

Cut out fun props and set up a camera for some Super Bowl fun. Give your guests something to post
about by setting up a makeshift photo booth in the corner of the room. Hang glitter streamers or a
plastic tablecloth in the playing teams’ colors as a backdrop. Lay out fun glasses, hats, or printed out
football graphics so your guests can dress up for their photos. This is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s
face and make lasting memories.

Set up a ring light or phone stand facing the decorated wall so your guests can take timed photos.

Method

15

Hand out swag bags after the game.Download Article

Image titled Throw a Super Bowl Party Step 15

Give your guests a piece of the party to bring home with them. These party bags could be full of Super
Bowl themed snacks or gag gifts. Theme the bags around football or the playing teams’ colors. Try
putting some of these party favors in your swag bags to be the ultimate host:

Iced sugar cookies that look like footballs

Plastic whistles

Toy or foam footballs

Colored beads or football lanyards

Candy with packaging that matches team colors

Flavored or colored popcorn

Snap bracelets

Football themed stickers

What if intoxicated people get into a violent fight at the party?

If a aggressive fight is started and one or many of the people fighting are drunk, force them out of the
house to avoid anyone else getting hurt or pulled into the fight. Only attempt to break up the fight if you
know you can, don't risk yourself or others being injured. If necessary, call the police and have them
taken away.

Tips

Ask your guests ahead of time if they have any dietary restrictions. Finding recipes that cater to all needs
will help everyone feel included in the festivities.

Make water bottle labels so your guests won’t lose track of their drinks. Print out a long, narrow image
of a football or black and white vertical stripes. Cut out the image, wrap it around the water bottle’s
label, and tape it in place. Leave out a permanent marker by the drink station so guests can write their
name on the fun labels.[10]

Call a cab or offer guests to spend the night if they’ve been drinking. The last thing you want is for
someone to get into an accident, so be safe and turn your Super Bowl party into a sleepover.
