The Super Bowl is coming up and if you’re the type of person who loves to host Super Bowl parties, especially family-friendly ones, you might be scrambling to find activities that include everyone in attendance. While the kids can definitely sense the excitement in the air on Super Bowl Sunday and even be super hyped to support their teams, actually getting through the long game can be a challenge for short attention spans and boundless energy.
The adults at the party can have no problem drinking a couple beers and engaging in light conversation but kids need a little more to keep them entertained. Especially if you want to keep them from destroying your house and driving you crazy. Some the activities on the list are kid-friendly games and other are cool crafts. Whether you choose only one or use the entire list, the little ones (and their parents) will seriously thank you for these boredom busters.

This game is definitely a little messy but still very fun! Using a tablecloth that looks like a football field, popsicle stick goal posts, and catapults, and tons of Goldfish, the little ones can make their own touchdowns alongside the players on the television screens.
