Something You Can Use: A Ready-made Super Bowl Party Maybe you have a Super Bowl Party already planned, but you don't know what to do other than watch the big game! Well, here's a resource for you to add a creative twist to your party! A READY-MADE SUPER BOWL PARTY Here are the basics on what to do: WHERE: That's right-you need a place to watch the game. If your youth group is small, someone's house is great! If you have a large group, you can use a youth room, a gym, anyplace you can find and set up a big screen and projector. (Don't forget that you'll need some sort of TV tuner with reception hooked up to the projector- worse case scenario, a VCR with a pair of rabbit ears!) WHEN: Super Bowl Sunday of course, Sunday, February 5th. PRIZES: That's right-I always get some good prizes that I advertise before-hand. In the past I've solicited dinner certificates, ski tickets, sports memorabilia, etc. Or, if you don't have resources for those kinds of prizes, there are always SNICKERS, MILK DUDS and DING DONGS! The prizes go to those who do best on the "Super Bowl Quiz." You'll see ... keep reading! COST: Depending on what you do and what your budget is. If your ministry has a strong budget and you want to provide a good outreach for your students to bring their friends to-then make it FREE. If you have no budget, you can charge a few bucks to cover sodas, ("pop," for all you from Minnesota) snacks, and any prizes you couldn't get donated. SUPER BOWL DAY AGENDA: The agenda for this event is pretty easy. You give them a quiz (see SUPER BOWL QUIZ below) as they enter the party. They have to fill it out before going in (or entering the main room). Certain questions have to do with the beginning of the game- so if they come late- they can still fill out the quiz- but they miss those questions. Don't allow anyone to fill out the quiz past the first quarter- they'll have an unfair advantage with the final score, etc. Then you just let everyone enjoy the game. I stand up several times through the game and do a quick "Super Bowl Challenge" (see my "Up Front Games" page: /games/upfront.asp) and give a little prize away. Then at the end, I tally up the quizzes and give away the grand prizes. It's a great event where students can get to know each other. (Guess what, I even did this for my adult Sunday School class- each couple takes a quiz together! Great fun!) For More Super Bowl Party Ideas From Our Last Ezine CLICK HERE Another Resource You Can Use: The Super Bowl Quiz SUPER BOWL QUIZ INSTRUCTIONS The quiz is one of the fun aspects of the party. This is the quiz that you give each student as they walk in the party. The quiz asks some basic football knowledge questions, and some questions specific to the game that day. A lot of the questions are just plain luck- like who will win the coin toss, or whether Coke or Pepsi will have the first commercial. Other questions might ask who will get the most yards, etc. Have students take the quiz before they enter- and you can have a group of staff tally up the scores as the game ends. (Some of the answers won't be complete until the finish of the game. i.e.: Who is going to win?) I've made up a possible quiz for you with the help of my die-hard football-fan friend Don Talley who also happens to be a fantastic youth speaker (CLICK HERE for more info on Don.) Feel free to also look at www.nfl.com or www.superbowl.com for more good information on the teams, half time shows, etc. so you can add, change, or verify more quiz questions. IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of these answers are determined during the game- and you'll need to take notes during the Super Bowl game to make your answer key for correcting the quizzes at the end! Also- DON'T print out the answer key (below the quiz) for the kids. 2006 Super Bowl Quiz (Circle your answer to each of the questions) 1. What teams are playing in today's Super Bowl? A.

By Stan Friedman, The Covenant News at www.covchurch.org The wife of Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Mike Holmgren won't be watching her husband's team in Super Bowl XL - she has more important things to do. Kathy Holmgren and one of her daughters, Calla, leave Thursday on a 17-day medical training mission to Congo. A nurse and obstetrician respectively, the two will travel as part of an eight-person team of physicians and former missionaries to a hospital in Karawa in northwestern Congo. The hospital is part of a medical care system operated by the Covenant Church of Congo in partnership with the Evangelical Covenant Church and its Department of World Mission. The Karawa trip, conducted under the auspices of Northwest Medical Teams, was organized by the Paul Carlson Partnership.
