Super Bowl home party games keep the excitement moving, whether your favorite team is up or down. Don’t like the halftime show? No problem. Serve up these fun games to your Super Bowl party guests to keep them entertained.

Super Bowl Party

The biggest game of the year typically comes with cold weather and possibly snow, forcing most party games to take place inside. These indoor games work well as a warm up before the Super Bowl begins or during breaks in the football game.

Are you ready for some football trivia? A Super Bowl trivia game keeps guests on their toes and tests their knowledge of match-ups from previous years. Potential topics for the trivia game include:

• Past winners of Super Bowl match-ups
• Famous Super Bowl commercials
• Details of past Super Bowl games
• Playoffs leading to the current year's Super Bowl game

Dividing the players into two teams adds a competitive edge to the game. Keep track of the number of correct answers given by each team and award a prize to the team with the most correct answers at the end of the night. For an added twist, set a timer for one minute and ask the questions rapid-fire style. Repeat for both teams to see who can handle the pressure.

The classic game of charades fits the theme of the night when all of the words used revolve around football. Make a list of football-related words and cut them into separate pieces of paper before the party. When you have free time during the big game you can play a few rounds of football charades to make the time pass quickly.

Give me an F! Give me a U! Give me an N! What's that spell? Fun for everyone. A friendly cheering competition pits the guests against each other in a battle of team spirit. If the group is divided down the middle when it comes to a favorite team in the game, use the divide to your advantage. Challenge each team to create a cheer complete with actions. Homemade pom poms using streamers and tape add a fun twist to the competition. After each group performs its cheer, determine the winner based on creativity and overall fun.

This game is played throughout the party and can result in some hilarious moments for the party guests. Each person needs a whistle on a lanyard to wear during the party. One or two words are designated as off-limits. Choose words that your guests will tend to say a lot during the game such as football, touchdown or score. If someone says the forbidden word, the person who catches him takes his whistle. Play the game throughout the night, awarding a prize to the person with the most whistles at the end of the party.

For those who live in warmer climates or those crazy enough to brave frigid temperatures and snowstorms, outdoor games offer another option for your Super Bowl party entertainment. These football-themed games are ideal for guests who have lots of energy to burn.

A football toss challenges the football fans at the party to show off their pigskin throwing skills. Suspend an old tire or hula hoop in the backyard to serve as the target for the football toss. Swinging the target while the participants take aim adds an additional challenge.

A friendly game of flag football is a fitting way to kick off an evening of watching football. Divide the guests into two teams and let the football game begin.

Are there kids on your Super Bowl party guest list? Plan some special games for them. However, even adults can enjoy these games.

Everyone has heard of the classic Hot Potato game. A foam football adds a theme-friendly twist to the game. The players form a circle with one person holding a foam football. The football is passed around the circle while music plays. When the music stops, the person holding the football is out of the game. This continues until only one person remains. Another option is to use the Super Bowl commercials as the timer instead of music. The person holding the football at the end of each commercial is out of the game.

Who doesn’t love to yell, “Bingo!”? Adding football symbols or words to a traditional Bingo board provides a fun game for guests of all ages. If the children at the party are young, stick with football symbols to make the game easier. Make plenty of extra Bingo boards so the guests can rotate them as desired. Peanuts or pretzels make a fun and tasty marker for the game boards.

A successful Super Bowl party is all about having fun with friends and family. Planning Super Bowl home party games involves everyone in the action, even those who don’t know an interception from a first down. Choose simple, fun games that appeal to your guests and your party will go down as one of the best Super Bowl parties yet.
