Family Friendly Super Bowl Party Ideas

-

Our super bowl parties are going to look a little different this year but that doesn't mean that we can't have a family friendly party. Here are some ideas to entertain the kids and get the familyinto the super bowl spirit.
Even if the whole family doesn't want to watch the game just add some fun games and good food and there's bound to be something for everyone.

Pin the Football in the Quarterback's Hand
This activity is also a fun craft to make with the kids, or it will give them something to do while they're impatiently waiting for the good snacks. 
  
What you need:
  1. A roll of craft paper or white paper.
  2. Brown construction paper
  3. Markers
  4. Tape
What to do:
  • Roll out the craft paper long enough for someone to lay on. 
  • Trace the outline of the person lying on the paper.
  • Using the markers turn the outline into a football player by coloring a uniform and giving him a helmet.
  • Cut football shapes out of the brown construction paper. Cut out enough for all the payers and write a player's name on the front of each football
To Play:
Blindfold the first player, give them the football with their name on it, spin them around and see if they can tape the football in the quarterback's hand.
Football Charades 

 
What you need:
  • Brown construction paper
  • White paper
  • Glue stick
  • Markers
What to do:
  1. Come up with a list of football related words 
  2. Cut out enough football shapes for your words ( I wrote 2 words per football)
  3. Cut slightly smaller football shapes out of the white paper 
  4. Write the football words on the white football shapes and glue them onto the brown football shapes. You can decorate the other side to look like a football or write out football charades.
To Play:
Each player takes a turn picking a football and acting out the words written on it for the others to guess. Little Miss loves to play charades because Anna and Elsa play charades in Frozen II!

Happy Super bowl!

There are so many great yoga game ideas for kids out there, this is one that I found that is good for all age groups. The original idea was picking up the pom-poms with your toes only but I found that you can make many variations as you go. Ask the kids for ideas as you're playing as well it's fun to see what they will think of. Toe-ga Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Sit in a circle around the pom-poms. Each player sits back, hands on the floor, knees bent. Place an empty bowl near each player's feet. 123 go, using only their toes each player has to put as many pom-poms in their bowl as they can. Yoga pose pom-pom pick up Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Standing or sitting in a circle choose a yoga pose that everyone can do. While in the pose each player has to place as many pom-poms in their bowls as they can.  Some poses to try: Downward dog, use your hands to pick up the pom-poms.  Tree pose use your toes to pick up the pom-poms.

Time Out

                                                        What I had planned to do this weekend My activity suggestion for this week is to leave the kids at home (under supervision of course, while you’re at it you can leave your spouse there too) and have some alone time.   Real alone time.   Not alone while doing the groceries time, that’s nice but every once in a while we all need some good quality time by ourselves.   I was lucky enough to get two days to myself.   My sister was going out of town and she offered me her apartment.   This was exciting for a number of reasons 1- she lives in the city and I live in the suburbs (there is a Starbucks within walking distance of her place and we don’t have a Starbucks at all where I live, so yay for coffee!) 2- I could have a weekend to myself for free.  All the pieces fell into place and I had a weekend all to myself.   Everyone kept asking what I was going to do and I didn’t want to say nothing so I made a list ·          Do yo
