Having some friends over for a Superbowl party? Here are some proven Super Bowl party ideas and activities that will keep everyone entertained – even non-football fans and kids will enjoy!
Regardless of how well-organized your party is (in terms of invitations, team-specific items, decorations, and food & drink), here are a few fun activities that your party guests are sure to enjoy!
For the diehard football fans at your party, do this:
Print out this Super Bowl Party Template and hand out a copy of it to each of your party guests. Everyone must turn in their completed form before the start of the game. Keep tabs on “who’s in the lead” all throughout the game, and award the game winner a special prize at the end.
To that list, you could also add these official Superbowl betting lines.
Alternative Super Bowl Party Ideas:
Stage your own Super Bowl trivia game.
For the non-football fans in the room (who otherwise wouldn’t be interested in watching the game), try this:
Give each person a form on which to list the following:
- How long the game will last
- Which team will score first
- Which team will score last
- Whether there will be a score in the final 2 minutes of game
- Team with last possession in 1st half
- During which half of the game will the most points be scored
- Total points scored separately by each team
- Whether the total points scored by each team will be an even number or an odd number
- What the total points scored by both teams will be in the end
…and any other obscure things you can think of that don’t really relate to how the game is played.
At the end, tally up the votes, and reward all who picked the most popular player in each category with a small gag gift.
Alternative Super Bowl Party Ideas:
- Instead of watching the game, perhaps some of the non-football fans will want to gather around the computer to learn about the basics of football and/or play football games online.
- For those really not interested in football at all, you may want to consider renting movies and watching them on a TV in another room while the other half of the party watches the football game. (Some ideas: watch Netflix movies or Amazon movies.)
- For the kids… consider these free football party games & Superbowl activities for children.
Football fans and non-fans alike will enjoy these ideas:
Pay close attention during all the commercials and vote on each one (scale of 1 to 5). At the end of the night, tally up the most popular commercial among your group, and see how this compares to the “best Superbowl commercials” in the news and on the Internet the next day.
Alternative Super Bowl Party Ideas:
It might also be fun to invite everyone to imbibe in the true spirit of the Superbowl by playing this Super Bowl Drinking Game.
And the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet is always a big hit on game day — for both kids and adults.

If there is ONE thing I like… it's C H A N G E! The four seasons and major holidays are my favorite times of the year to recharge — and redecorate. I mostly like to share frugal DIY ideas for seasonal home decorating and party planning (for both, indoors and outside). Because who doesn't enjoy entertaining at home?! But even if you don't host many parties, I think you'll appreciate my DIY hacks and clever ways to decorate your house for the major holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Because those are the times when people tend to have the most visitors and overnight houseguests.
