The other
day I stayed late at work. My teen son sent me a text that read, “Don’t forget
to come home, I’m hungry.” He sent this plea to encourage me to go straight
home and not stop to run errands. My son has consistently ignored my plea to take the initiative on
preparing an occasional meal.
One solution
we agreed upon to help my son with his cooking sessions is to have him prepare
a meal for Super bowl Sunday. We also decided to include his meal as part of a Super
bowl party. Here are a couple of his ideas are:
·
Make
a football shaped pizza – we found a sample on the internet where pepperoni was
placed in a football shape in the center of the pizza.
·
Make
football shaped cookies – roll out some cookie dough and use football shaped
cookie cutters.
If you’re
thinking of having a Super Bowl party, make it kid friendly and add some of the
activities below.
Pre-Game
·
Face
paint – let your child paint his face in the colors of her team.
·
Origami
flick football – make a paper origami football.
·
Football
necklace – use construction, cardstock or foam board to make football shaped
necklaces. You’ll need yarn and a hole-punch to necklaces.
Half-time
·
Crab
football – use a cushy football, carry/toss it using your neck, knees or
armpit. Walk like a crab to get the ball into your opponent’s end zone.
·
Sunday
Sundaes – create an ice cream sundae bar with your favorite ice cream flavor
and toppings.
Post-Game
Do a
celebration dance if your team wins.
What are
your suggestions for hosting a kid friendly super bowl party?
