  For many football fans, Super Bowl Sunday is like a holiday celebration. The family hosts a party, friends come over and bring their kids, and hopefully everyone has a good time. Teenagers may be football fanatics, but there is a good chance that not all of the ones at your party will be. To keep teens in the Super Bowl spirit, have games prepared that to draw them in and help everyone to have a great time.
  
  

Armchair Quarterback

• NFL Armchair Quarterback is a board game published by Trade Wind Industries that is played along with a live football game in person or on television. Players each have a board and check boxes to correspond with the plays they believe the offensive team will run on the next snap. Players use their knowledge of the game, the coaches and the players involved to guess whether the offense will pass or run and to which part of the field the play will go. They may also predict scoring plays, quarterback sacks or other plays.
  
  Players secretly mark their predictions on the board and turn them face down until the play happens. The players then flip the board and score points according to the accuracy of their predictions. This game is suitable for teenagers and will keep anyone's attention on the game throughout.
  
  

Commercial Break Gaming

• Teenagers are the target demographic for many video game consoles and there are many football games to choose from. Teens can switch on a videogame pitting the two Super Bowl teams against one another and play it before the actual game, during commercial breaks or halftime, and pause it when the game comes back on.
  
  There are several NFL and college football games available for all the major gaming consoles, and all of them are likely to hold a teen's attention during Super Bowl Sunday.
  
  

Football Pictionary or Charades

• Pictionary and Charades are timeless games that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and adding a football theme for your Super Bowl party will be a hit with the younger crowd.
  
  In Pictionary, someone draws images on a board in front of the other players and they try to be the first one to guess what the artist is trying to draw. This game can easily be set up to be football related. The pictures can range from helmets and goal posts to team mascots or referee signals.
  
  Charades works like Pictionary, but instead of drawing the clues, the person must act them out. Referee signals work well for this game, as do cheerleader routines, game action and any other football-related material you can come up with.
