Football Party Supplies and Decorations

- Have mylar balloons that say TOUCH DOWN or FOOTBALL
- String streamers in your color theme

- Hang a sign around your food and call it the tailgate party and by your drink zone call it your end zone. Make these signs on framed blackboards.
Football Party Games and Activities
- Decorate Footballs and Helmets - Pre-cut-out football and helmet shapes on stiff paper. Have all types of decorating materials available. Some favourites are coloured glitter glues, google eyes, ribbons, etc. Or if you want to go all out get foam footballs. Spray them white in advance and have your guests paint them.
- Pin the Football on the End field - Make your own football field easily with any rectangle paper. For the footballs you can make each a different team to differentiate between the participants. Use football stickers to make the football designs easier.
- Team Jersey Designs - Make your own shirts by tie dying shirts / jerseys. Remember to paint on your last names and shirt numbers.
- Smile .. You're Football Star! - Get a life sized cut out of players and cut off their head and pose yourself as a football players.
- Bean Bag Football Toss - Get a piece of plywood or MDF from a building supply store. They will even cut this piece of wood to the size you desire for a reasonable price (usually you get a couple of cuts for free). When at home paint the board and put a couple of holes in hit to throw the bean bag through. Tape the ground to show where to stand.
- Play Touch/ Tag Football - Have the flags in your favourite team colours. I would use a foam football to help prevent injury.
- Football Trivia - Create a sports trivia game and make the question difficulty level to suit your guests knowledge. Hand out little prizes for the winners.
- Euchre Game - if watching the game set up a euchre tournament to play at the same time. Have multiple TVs set up so you can see the game at all angles.
- Watch a Football Game - Make a friendly betting game. Make a chart with twenty or thirty squares. Place reasonable scores for a football game in the squares. Have your guests pay a dollar a square and they then get to place their name or initials on the squares. Do all of this before the game begins. At each quarter check out the score. Whoever's name is on the right score they win a quarter of the prize money.
