Today, I’m sharing parenting tips on game day activities for kids. Super Bowl Sunday or any game day for that matter is the perfect time for gathering with family and friends. In reality, most game day activities are centered around adults. Unfortunately, that leaves the kids wondering around and searching for things to do. Video games are readily available; however, I’m all for intellectual stimulation.
So, I created these game day activities for the older kids. There’s a Football Unscramble Game that uses football terms including turnover, tackle, touch down, cheerleaders and more. It also includes an answer key.
Another one of our game day kid’s activity is a football crossword puzzle. It’s challenging, and will keep your football player/lover busy while you’re finishing the gameday menu or other festivities.
If your child needs to work on their writing and grammar, we have writing game day activity for kids. The activity will require the participant to write sentences using football terminology. This would be a great group activity too, so print off several copies.
Our last game day kid’s activities is a word search football terminology. It contains around 20 of the most used football terms. My 13 year old grandson loves word search puzzles. It’s a football player too!
Set up a card table or area where the kids can play these games along with a few game day snacks. These games are perfect for adults too. My 6’2 240 pound son-in-laws loves working word search puzzles. Form teams, and give out prizes to the first team who completes the Unscramble and Crossword Puzzle Games. Or, you can print these activities to keep your guess busy while you finishing up snack trays. Or, use them to keep the kids busy while you’re mingling and entertaining friends. They will love the game day challenges and involvement in game day. Download the printables here.
