Countdown to The Super Bowl Party - decorations and games

There will probably be more Giants Fans at your Super Bowl Party than Patriots, but Super Bowl parties are usually very democratic. Decorate one side of the room where you'll be watching the game for the Giants, the other side for the Patriots. If you have a large table decorate this with a green cloth, add some white lines to indicate the field, some football shaped confetti, 2 goal posts with the NY Giants on one end and the NE Patriots at the other. If you can find those large helmets for chips, even better! Your guests will most likely come dressed in football jerseys or colors of their team. (If you want to be really creative, make little jerseys out of felt and hang them around the room.) Have a large board with squares for the teams and quarters for betting. In addition to the quarterly scores you could include the time the game will end, the MVP, winner of coin toss, team for first touchdown before the playing really begins. For young children present purchase some new footballs as favors for them. Make sure you have "kid-friendly" snacks and food for them, perhaps make up a "word search" game using traditional football words such as "goal," "touchdown," and "quarterback" for them. Popcorn is the number one snack of choice on this most snacked day of the year, so make sure you have plenty! Enjoy!
