Remember prior years football season? Football was all about the game, the parties, the epic commercials. But then, the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce love story happened, and suddenly, our teenage daughters only tuned in for the celebrity sightings. While they happily joined the snack fest, the rest of the game became a giant “meh.”
As a mom who values both football and family fun, I knew I had to find engaging activities to keep them entertained (and maybe even spark a little interest in the actual Super Bowl game!). So, fellow non-fan parents, fear not! Let’s ditch the “Big Game Boredom” and turn this day into a “Glorious Getaway” for everyone, even the Swifties and Kelce fans.
Football fans glued to the screen? Buckle up, Lavanda Michelle here, your champion of the couch-potato revolution. We’re about to explore 10 fun-filled activities that will keep your non-fans entertained, whether they care about the score or not!
1. Craft a Commercial Showdown:
Channel your inner ad mogul! Challenge your teens to create their own commercials during the breaks, complete with scripts, costumes, and maybe even a living room set design. Award prizes for funniest, most creative, and most “Super Bowl-worthy.”
2. DIY Face Paint Fiesta:
Unleash their artistic side with football-themed face paint! Go classic with team colors and logos, or get creative with funny designs, inspirational quotes, or even their favorite players. Don’t forget to snap some epic selfies during the game!
3. Super Bowl Snack Stadium:
Ditch the traditional chips and dip! Transform your table into a miniature stadium with creative snack presentations. Build veggie platters into goalposts, create dip mountains in touchdown zones, and serve mini pizzas as field markers. Get creative and delicious!
4. Halftime Dance Party Extravaganza:
Blast the music when the whistle blows! Turn your living room into a dance floor and challenge your teens to choreograph routines inspired by halftime shows they loved (or hated). Bonus points for incorporating football-themed props!
5.Football Trivia Throwdown:
Put their knowledge (or lack thereof) to the test! Create a fun football trivia quiz with questions about famous players, iconic Super Bowl moments, and even weird football facts. The winner gets bragging rights (and maybe an extra helping of dessert).
6. DIY Football Fashion Face-Off:
Who says football attire has to be boring? Have your teens create their own game-day outfits using recycled materials, paint, and accessories. Think pom-poms, jersey customizations, and maybe even DIY team mascots!
7. Movie Marathon Matchup:
Can’t decide between football and film? Combine them! Choose movies starring famous football players, documentaries about iconic athletes, or even comedies set around the Super Bowl. Popcorn and laughs guaranteed!
8. Board Game Blitz:
Gather your favorite board games and have a friendly family tournament while the game plays in the background. Opt for strategic games like chess or quick-paced ones like charades, depending on your family’s preference.
9. Book Nook Retreat:
Escape the game frenzy and create a cozy reading nook. Get comfy with pillows, blankets, and a selection of exciting books (bonus points for sports-themed reads!). It’s the perfect way to relax and recharge while the game unfolds.
10. Volunteer Mission:
Use the big game as an opportunity to give back! Check out local volunteer opportunities at animal shelters, soup kitchens, or community centers. Spending time helping others is a rewarding experience for everyone involved and adds a meaningful touch to the day.
So there you have it, folks! Ten ways to turn the Big Game into a family fun day, even if your teenage crew is more interested in Taylor Swift than touchdowns. Remember, it’s not just about the game, it’s about creating memories and connecting with loved ones. So, turn down the volume on the gridiron commentary, crank up the laughter, and embrace the “Glorious Getaway” possibilities.
Who knows, maybe your teens will even discover a hidden appreciation for the sport (or at least appreciate the epic snack stadium you built!). Now, grab your game face (painted or otherwise), fire up your creativity, and let the fun begin! And hey, if you see my family sporting DIY face paint and cheering for our homemade mascots, don’t be surprised – we’re just living our best, Super Bowl lives!

It is always nice to include kids in a variety of celebrations. These are all fun ideas! I appreciate having ways to keep the kids occupied.
I don’t get why people are upset about Taylor Swift watching her boyfriend play. Isn’t that what normal people do? People are so funny.
Not a fan of football or Taylor Swift! The food is looks very good though!
I am a huge Taylor Swift and football fan. I am so excited about the Superbowl and I can’t wait. I am happy to have some way to include that non fans.
