While the big game is the main attraction at Super Bowl parties, it’s not uncommon for hosts to offer a little sideline action. Friendly wagers tend to be the biggest pre-game activity, but they aren’t always practical.
If you like the idea of having your party guests put down friendly wagers, but don’t want them to actually shell out cash, there’s an option that can work well. Take this typical Super Bowl party game and put your own special twist on it and you’ll generate some serious excitement among your guests and give one lucky winner something fun to take home.
Before your guests arrive, get a piece of poster board or even an old chalk board. Make this the “Big Board” for the game. As guests enter, ask them to write down their pick for Super Bowl winner and the final score. Make sure everyone puts down a guess before the official Super Bowl kickoff.
Once everyone has signed in, put the Big Board out where everyone can see it. During Super Bowl halftime, point out the leaders and the stragglers. Don’t let anyone change their guess though!
After the game is over, refer back to the board to determine the winner. Give the person who picks the right team and the closest score a special prize for their outstanding prognostication abilities. Super Bowl merchandise gift certificates are perfect. This way your football fan friends can select the gear they want and you won’t have to worry about buying items in advance that might reflect the “wrong team.”
Now, if your Super Bowl party guests still insist on making the traditional wager, you’ll be set for the action. That big board can also come in handy for making sure everyone remembers just what their guess was before play got under way.
Giveaways can generate a little pre-and post-game excitement and transform a typical Super Bowl party into one guests won’t soon forget!
