The most wonderful time of the year is here: football season! Oklahoma is known for our college football teams, and for many of us, football is a way of life. Even if you cannot attend and tailgate in person, you can still enjoy the games from the comfort of your own backyard. This year, make your home the center of the action with these tips for throwing a great football watch party at home.
Make the TV the Star of the Show
Keeping your eyes glued to the screen so you don’t miss a play? For a realistic tailgating experience, set the flatscreen up outside or grab a projector and throw up a white sheet for an outdoor big screen experience. Invite guests to bring their own folding chairs so everyone can relax in comfort while social distancing outdoors. You may also want to consider bringing a fan or two outside so your gang can stay cool while they watch the game.
Keep it Fun for Everyone!
While the adults enjoy the big game, set up some fun activities on the lawn to keep the kids entertained, such as:
- A Silly Sack Race
- Tug of War
- Frisbee Toss
- Wooden Block Stacking Game
- A Bubble Blowing Station
- Arts and Crafts Table
And if you or your guests are feeling young at heart, why not join in the fun?
