Predictions

Make things interesting by having your guests make predictions about the game. This will add even more fun to the evening’s festivities as you squirm with anticipation in hopes that your predictions come true.

Football Charades

Football charades is played just as normal charades is, but uses only football themed words. This game is interactive and is perfect to use as an icebreaker if you have guests that do not know each other very well. You can play men against women, or pick teams randomly! For the winning team, give out football-themed prizes such as Denver drink cozies.

Cook off

Food is a staple of watching the big game. Everyone loves to bring over their homemade recipes for others to enjoy. Now, you can add to the fun and declare a cook off! Each person will taste test each dish and anonymously vote on paper for their favorite (they can’t vote for their own.) Tally the votes and reward the winner with a new serving dish! It’s the perfect gift for a cook off champion.
