Super Bowl Squares Game
The Super Bowl Squares game is a classic and exciting way to add a betting element to your party. It’s easy to set up and keeps guests engaged throughout the game, as the outcome of each quarter determines a winner!
Here’s how to play⁚
- Create a Grid⁚ Draw a 10×10 grid on a large piece of paper or poster board. This creates 100 squares in total.
- Label the Axes⁚ Label one axis with “AFC” (or the name of the AFC team) and the other axis with “NFC” (or the name of the NFC team).
- Sell (or Assign) Squares⁚ Have guests “buy” squares on the grid. Each square represents a potential score combination at the end of each quarter (e.g., AFC 3, NFC 7).
- Randomly Assign Numbers⁚ After all squares are filled, randomly write the numbers 0-9 along each axis. This determines the score combination assigned to each square.
- Determine Winners⁚ At the end of each quarter, look at the last digit of each team’s score. The person with the square that intersects those two numbers is the winner of that quarter!
For example, if the score at the end of the first quarter is AFC 14, NFC 7, the person with the square that has “4” on the AFC axis and “7” on the NFC axis wins.
You can have a prize for each quarter or a grand prize for the final score. Get creative with the prize pool to make it even more exciting!
Super Bowl Prop Bets
Prop bets, short for “proposition bets,” add a whole new level of fun and unpredictability to your Super Bowl party. Unlike traditional bets on the game’s outcome, prop bets focus on specific events or occurrences during the game. This opens up a world of possibilities for wacky and entertaining wagers!
Here are some popular Super Bowl prop bet categories⁚
- Game-Related Props⁚ Will the game go into overtime? How many field goals will be made? What color will the Gatorade be that’s dumped on the winning coach?
- Player-Specific Props⁚ Which quarterback will throw for the most yards? Will any player score a touchdown on their first reception? How many times will a certain player’s name be mentioned by the announcers?
- Entertainment Props⁚ What song will the halftime performer play first? What color will the outfit of a specific performer be? Will any commercials be repeated from previous Super Bowls?
You can find lists of popular prop bets online or create your own for a unique touch. Have guests place their bets before the game and see who has the best prediction skills (or luck!).
Super Bowl Commercial Bingo
Turn the most expensive ad slots in television into a fun, interactive game! Super Bowl Commercial Bingo combines the excitement of the commercials with the thrill of classic bingo. It’s a great way to keep guests engaged during the breaks, even if they aren’t die-hard football fans.
How to Play⁚
- Create Bingo Cards⁚ Before the game, create unique bingo cards using a grid (typically 5×5). Instead of numbers, fill each square with common Super Bowl commercial themes, products, or celebrity endorsers.
- Distribute and Explain⁚ Hand out a bingo card to each guest and explain the rules⁚ as commercials air, players mark off squares that match what they see or hear in the ads.
- Bingo! and Prizes⁚ The first person to get five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts “Bingo!” Award prizes to the winners after each round or at the end of the game.
