Even if your favorite team isn’t playing in the Super Bowl you can’t let the fans of those two teams have all the fun! If your teams are in the Super Bowl, even better! Either way, you can celebrate the main event with a fabulous party!

If you think half-time isn't what it used to be – plan some activities to keep your guest entertained.

If the weather is mild, hold a football toss. You can award guest for the longest throw, or set up a hula hoop target they can toss the ball through – or a field goal area to kick the football through.

If the weather does not permit, clear out a section where they can toss a foam football or football shaped bean bags (they are easy to make – cut out football shapes out of brown fabric, sew together – leaving an open are to add dried beans, then sew the hole closed) through a hula-hoop or into a basket. The best of 5 attempts wins!

There is also Sports trivia pursuit, football charades (using a common football term), or “hot football” (similar to “hot potato, but with a football). Prizes can be food, an NFL - themed gift , or just an extra beer - depending on your budget!

Standard fare for a football party: pizzas, hot wings, sausages, submarine (hoagie) sandwiches, tortilla chips, nachos, football shaped and decorated brownies or cake. Finger foods are the best bet. You can also be creative, and can find all sorts of ideas online.

Don't forget drinks. Beer is the usual drink of choice for a Super Bowl party, served in a frosty mug is even better! You can, of course, have  a non-alcohol line of beverages on hand to keep the party under control, or those who do not drink or are too young.

No matter what you serve - It's Always Time for Football!!!
