The Super Bowl is this next Sunday and probably, your husband, family, friends, children or even you : are super excited about the upcoming party! However, have you planned on what to do with you younger children when they figure out that, no, they can´t stay sitting down for a full quarter? Here are some ideas and tips:
- Plan on snacks that children can also enjoy, set a plate aside for them, so they don´t re-dip their Tostitos in the dip bowl!
- Stock up on coloring books, crayons, and recycled paper. Ask them to draw a football, or their team´s mascot or symbol, the stadium, the players or even the weather. This way they feel they are still part of the Super Bowl Party!
- If you have a yard where you can keep an eye on them from the tv, and the weather allows it, set a few outdoor balls, hula hoops, or toys that they can play with before dark.
- Keep a few books on hand, they can quietly sit to read or look at pictures at least until the next first down!
- Have them release their energy with a good scream after a good play. Tell them that when everyone jumps up, shouts or says "All right!" they too can join in the fun!
