Superbowl Party Games of Activity and Fun

The following are two very interesting Superbowl Party Games with the kids during half time.

'Cross Questions and Crooked Answers' Superbowl Party Game

The cross questions and crooked answers game is a very different Superbowl party game that is played in whispers. The children sit in a circle and the first player whispers a question to his/her neighbor. This question now belongs to the second player and he/she must remember it. Let's assume that the question is "Do you like roses?" The second player answers the question and this answer belongs to the first player. Perhaps he/she has answered "Yes, they smell so sweetly". The second player turns to his/her neighbor and whispers a question, and keeps the answer in mind. Maybe the player has asked the neighbor "Are you fond of potatoes?" and the answered was "Yes, when they are fried!" The second player now has a question and an answer that belongs to him/her, which must be remembered till the end of the game.

The Superbowl party game continues until every player has asked a question and received an answer. Each player must remember the question he/she is asked, which will be his/her question, and the answer given by his/her neighbor, which will be his/her answer. After everyone gets their 'cross' question and 'crooked' answer, then each player tells his/her question and answer aloud in the following manner: " I was asked: 'Do you like roses?' and the answer was: 'Yes, when they are fried!'" The next player follows with his/her question and answer and says "I was asked: 'Are you fond of potatoes?' and the answer was 'Yes, they are very pretty, but they don't wear well".

French Roll Superbowl Party Game

A large number of children can play the French Roll Superbowl party game. One of the children becomes the 'buyer' and the rest of them form a line in front of 'the buyer' and take hold of each other. The first player in the line is called the 'baker' and the last the 'French roll'. The children in between are collectively called the 'oven'. Once everyone is in position, the buyer says to the baker, "Give me my French roll". The baker replies, "It is at the back of the oven". When the buyer goes to fetch it, the 'French roll' starts to run from the back of the oven to the baker, calling all the while, "Who runs? Who runs?" The buyer should try to catch the 'French roll' before the player acting as the 'French roll' reaches the top of the line. Once the 'French roll' reaches the beginning of the line, he/she becomes the 'baker' and the last player in the line becomes the 'French roll'. On the other hand, if the 'buyer' catches the 'French roll', then the 'French roll' becomes the 'buyer' and the 'buyer' goes to the beginning of the line to become the 'baker'.
