WATCH PARTY IDEAS FOR THE BIG GAME

FOOTBALL WATCH PARTY

• Crave Worthy Appetizers Coming in Hot

Heat things up with snacks and apps from our friends over at Cowboy Charcoal. Our faves? Bacon Wrapped BBQ Jalapeño Poppers or Green Chile Chicken Taquitos. Both pair wonderfully with chips, fresh-cut veggies and ice-cold beer.

• Big, Lively Fire for the Big Game

Once you’ve prepped your snacks, it’s time to light the fire. Use duraflame 6lb firelogs to create the perfect vibe for your party. America’s #1 firelog, they provide a hassle-free, fast-lighting fire that should last all four quarters. 

• Play Your Own Game

Up the ante with a fun game of football squares. First, print this 10x10 grid. Assign one team to the columns, another to the rows. Number the top row and far left column with numbers 0–9. Then let your guests select their squares. Allow for the same number of squares per guest for equal chances. At the end of each quarter, select a winner based on the last number of each team’s score. Match the numbers on the grid to find the intersection of the two numbers for the winner.

• Be the Judge When it Comes to Commercials

We get it. Not everyone is interested in the actual game. Watching commercials is fun, too! Put your guests in the judging seat by giving each of them their own judging sheet. Categories include: (1) humor, (2) awe factor and (3) memorability. At the end, have your judges come together to choose the ultimate big-game commercial.
