All-Pro Favor Packs

Kick off the festivities by giving guests a party pack when they arrive.

Fill a football-themed bottle coozie or sporty favor bag with items that guests can use to root for their team like football maracas, clappers, and inflatable #1 hands.

Sprinkle in some fun trinkets that guests can toss around such as cushy football darts and mini footballs.

Bring in team colors with shredded Mylar overflowing from each guest's Super Bowl party pack, and a little blast of confetti.

Games and Activities

Play Your Own Games

Inflatables are the way to go for a Super Bowl party.

For a good time at halftime and throughout the party, set up activities like an inflatable football player catch game.

Guests can throw the soft darts or mini footballs from their favor packs, into the catch game’s net or through the goal posts on an inflatable drink cooler.

Be sure to set the games out of the TV viewer’s way, to keep clear of those die-hard fans who want to watch the game, commercials and everything in between.

Preparation

Parking Lot Inspiration
- Look to tailgating games for more halftime fun.
- A hot game in stadium parking lots is bolo football.
- Players toss bolos, a 1-foot rope with small balls on either end, with the goal of trying to wrap the bolo around rungs on the game’s ladder.
- Another favorite of tailgaters is a bean bag toss where players throw bean bags into holes on a wooden board that resembles a football field.
- Games on posters provide party activities as well as décor.
