Have a Fun Family Game Day Party!
Let me be honest… We’re not really a football family. We each have our favorite teams, but we rarely actually watch football. EXCEPT during the NFL playoff season. We’ll take any old reason to have a fun family day inside on a cold winter day, and a football playoff game is a perfect excuse! I’ve done a little hunting and found some ways to make a game day party fun for the whole family – including the kids. Let’s check ’em out…
9 Family-Friendly Football Game Day Party Ideas
- Wear Team Clothing – Get all the entire family dressed up in their favorite team clothing. No team apparel? Make a cute football shirt like this one or just dress in the colors of the team you’re rooting for. Let the kids help pick their outfits!
- Decorate for the Party – Make this easy football field table cloth to transform your dining room table into a fun food station. And find some printable decorations here, too.
- Prepare a Football Themed Craft or Activity – If your kids don’t have the attention span for the entire game (don’t worry – neither do mine!), prep a football themed craft or activity for them; like this football pointillism art, this mini football goalpost craft, or this LEGO mini football game.
- Offer a Football Sensory Bin – Or offer the kids a football themed sensory bin to play in.
- Sneak in Some Learning – Or make the game a learning experience for the kids with any one of these great football themed learning printables and resources!
- Read Football Books – Or read the kids some football themed children’s books between plays.
- Enjoy Some Sweet Treats – Let the kids help make some sweet treats for enjoying during the game. Try these football cookie balls or some football yard line brownies.
- Serve Savory Appetizers – Make some hearty snacks – like these easy Chili Cheese Boats – for feasting on during the game, too.
- Have a Drink Station – Make one of these football themed drink tubs for the drinks. Stock it with soda for the kids!
