With the first Sunday of February merely days away, are you ready for the most thrilling game day of the year? Even though your entire watch crew won’t be able to get together in one place to witness the biggest football showdown in America, there are still plenty of ways you can make this year’s football game day a memorable experience. From crafting DIY decorations and setting up a touchdown-worthy snack station to tuning into the action with your own party games to keep the spirits high, we’ve gathered some inspirational tips and fun ways to help you kick off the season with a bang!

Warm Up With Party Games! Whether you’re throwing a watch party for a crowd of football fanatics or most of your family members are only interested in the commercials and the half-time show, having a few party games on hand will surely be a great addition to your party. Bring in the board games or set up some low-key athletic games such as a ring toss or football throw to get your crew all pumped up for the big game. For an exciting football throw game setup, hang a large metal hoop in your backyard using ropes or position our double metal ring stand on a table inside. Get hold of some mini footballs or use DIY bean bags and aim for the hoop. The one with the most accurate throws gets to call dibs on the best seat in front of the TV come kickoff!

Set up A Game-Winning Spread! Sure you have wings, beer, and snacks all stocked up for your game day watch party, but an occasion like this deserves a special setup. Dress your table in a white spandex tablecloth and position a couple of artificial grass squares on top to transform your dining table into a football field. Place cardboard stands topped with sports-themed finger foods and desserts on the grass squares and use disposable tableware and paper napkins to make clean up after the party a breeze! This game day food station decor is surely going to help you score some major points!

Get Creative with Game Day Decorations! If you’re searching for some fun activities to make the most of the free time during commercials, get the whole family involved in making DIY crafts that can be doubled as game day party decorations to lift the team spirit to a new high! For an easy DIY game day craft idea, grab a pennant banner and use our gold alphabet stickers to spell out your cheers and support slogans for your favorite team. Pair your banner with paper pinwheel fans, tassels, and pom poms to add a peppy flair to your celebrations.

Host a Virtual Watch Party! Just because you and your friends will all be staying home this year, it doesn’t mean the fun should stop.  Send out game day party kits filled with hand throw streamers, pom poms, pre-tied paper tassels, and customized jerseys to your friends beforehand and host a virtual meet up to celebrate game day together in the best way possible.

Create an Outdoor Setup! Go the extra mile and create an outdoor setup in your backyard, patio, or rooftop to watch the big game on a big screen. Drape white fabric on a backdrop stand and use clamps to keep it in place creating a projecting screen for the Super Bowl. Arrange a relaxed seating area using a raffia fabric spread, bean bag chairs, cushions, and blankets and position a low height table or grab a few wooden crate boxes for a makeshift table to display all your game day snacks. Brighten up your space with bulb string lights and let the party begin!

As you can see, there are several ways you can enjoy and spend some quality time with your family and friends on the most anticipated football game day of the year.
