BIG GAME PARTY
A fun party including our annual unique quiz for the
Super Bowl!
Another free resource from www.TheSource4YM.com
HOW TO DO THE "BIG GAME" PARTY FOR
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY:
First, make sure you are up to date with the legalities of what you can and cannot
do at a "Super Bowl" party... such as, "Can you even call it a 'Super Bowl' party?!!"
Actually... nope! You can't! CLICK HERE for Church Law's new video this year with
all the details.
Once you know the skinny... plan your party! Here are the basics
on what to do:
WHERE:
You need to find a place to host the party! You can use your church's youth room
(if you have a TV source), sanctuary, or you could ask to use a church member's
home. Unlike some previous years, there are NO restrictions on the size of the screen
or the number of screens you can use. Think BIG!!
WHEN:
Super Bowl Sunday of course, this coming Sunday, February 5, 2012.
PRIZES:
That's right-grab some cool prizes to give away. (Let your students know ahead of
time they can win prizes... they're a great draw for your party!). Dinner certificates,
iTunes gift cards, ski tickets, sports memorabilia, free registration on upcoming
youth ministry trip, etc. all work great for prizes. Or, if you don't have resources/funds
for those kinds of prizes, there are always SNICKERS, MILK DUDS and DING DONGS!
The prizes go to those who do best on the "Big Game Quiz." You'll see... keep
reading!
COST:
It's gotta be free! You can't charge money for a television or movie event. But
you can do a "BRING YOUR OWN..." event- your basic POT LUCK. (For example, girls
bring a 2 Liter and guys bring a bag of chips. Or you can have each age group bring
a certain type of food.)
SUPER BOWL DAY AGENDA:
The agenda for this event is pretty easy. You give them a quiz (see BIG GAME QUIZ
below) as they enter the party. They have to fill it out before the game begins
because some of the questions have to do with the beginning of the game, like coin
toss. Don't allow anyone to fill out the quiz past kickoff- they'll have an unfair
advantage with the final score, etc.
Then you just let everyone enjoy the game (while one of you keeps stats for some
of the answers to the quiz- keep reading).. You can also interject a few "Super
Bowl Challenges" from our UP FRONT GAMES page and give a few prizes away. Then at
the end, tally up the quizzes and give away the grand prizes.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, YOU have to note certain stats
during the game to complete your answer key, then tally the quizzes right there
at the party so you can award the winner immediately.)
It's a great event where students can get to know each other. For More "Big Game"

HOW TO DO OUR ANNUAL BIG GAME QUIZ:
A Super Bowl Competition for Your "BIG GAME" Party: The BIG GAME Quiz... A Football-knowledge
Quiz For All!
IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PERSON GIVING THE BIG GAME QUIZ?
NOT THE KIDS.
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 -IMPORTANT- have a group of adult
volunteers take notes during the game, filling in the answers, and then have them
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
Todd Pearage (A Steelers fan, no doubt) who most of you know from our MOVIE REVIEW
page. 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.
PLEASE READ THIS: I say again- because every year some people email me after
the event and ask us for the answers. WE DON'T PROVIDE ALL THE ANSWERS... because
we can't. That's the purpose of this quiz, to tally it during the game and give
away the prize at the end of your party. Most of these answers are determined during
the game- and you'll need someone to take notes during the Super Bowl game to make
your answer key for correcting the quizzes at the end! We only provide answers to
the questions that will not be determined during the game. Also- DON'T print out
the answer key for the kids. (Yeah... duh! But you would NOT believe how many people
email us every year about both!)
