Print off an estimator sheet and let your guests write down their predictions on who will win the game, the final score, and anything else you can think of.

  2. When I was a kid, I loved loved loved playing flag football. Never even thought about introducing my girls to it. I bet they would really enjoy it. Do kids still play it at school? Our school doesn’t.

  3. I love the game prediction football game that you suggested – so much fun! Then after the game, it’s great for the kids to see whose prediction came true.

  4. Those are really some innovative ideas for a football party for children and some of them for the adults as well!

  5. I might get a lot of hate for this, but I really don’t like football – or any sport for that matter! But some of the men in my life love it – and they would totally dig these game ideas!

  6. I guess I’ve never thought about it. I had two football players but we didn’t party it up (shame on us!). 🙂
