Youth Super Bowl XLVI

The adults shouldn’t have all the fun during the Super Bowl. You’ll want something to keep the kids occupied – or for those who are not particularly interested in the NFL or football.
Let the kids put together their own celebration. Decorate a room, or a section of a room, just for the kids – footballs, goal posts, jerseys in their favorite team colors. Have balloons and streamers in the same color scheme.  Have them dressed in team colors or jerseys. Hang footballs from the ceiling. Let the kids help with the décor, and let them have their own snack table, decorated with a green tablecloth and make it look like a football field.
Place juice packs in a tub filled with ice. Make philly cheese-steak quesadillas - a fried tortilla filled with roast beef and cheese (you can leave out the onions for the kids), or have a large plate full of slider sandwiches – miniature versions of what you are making for the adults. You can also put a taco bar out for them to make their own.
Nachos are always fun to eat, and have a bowl of chex party mix, puppy chow (chocolate Chex cereal mixed with melted peanut butter and dusted with powdered sugar) or seasoned popcorn for snacks.
For an activity you can have the kids decorate their own cupcakes or sugar cookies. Give them each a Popsicle stick to spread different color frostings, making clean-up easier.
You may want to print some pages out of football subject so kids can draw and color (supply them with washable markers, water color pain or crayons that only show up on paper, just in case).
