It's time to think about the most highly anticipated football event of the season: your Super Bowl party. No matter what team you're rooting for, celebrating Super Bowl Sunday consists of quality time with your squad and, of course, great food. Super Bowl 2022 is no exception, and these virtual Super Bowl party ideas will make a touchdown with your friends as you watch the Los Angeles Rams face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Feb. 13.
Even though a virtual Super Bowl party might be different from how you traditionally celebrate with your favorite people, it can still be a ton of fun. Just because you’re hanging out on Zoom this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t have an amazing time together watching the big game and playing a few Super Bowl party games of your own.
Before putting on your game face, don't forget that food is one of the most important parts of Super Bowl Sunday. You and your crew can show off your appetizers via Zoom and vote on whose presentation is the best. After you've had enough pizza and wings, consider playing football-themed trivia or Bingo for some friendly competition. As long as you and your friends plan one or more of these virtual Super Bowl party ideas, you're sure to have a tailgatin' good time.
01
Have A Cook-Off
Game day food is the tastiest part of Super Bowl Sunday, so make sure it takes the spotlight during your virtual celebration. Before getting on Zoom, have each household chef up their fave game day dish, from football-shaped pizza to jalapeño poppers. The most broadcast-worthy voice in each group can show off their creation. The most creative dish will score a touchdown among your group.
02
Predict What Will Happen During The Game With This Template
While you might not be watching the Super Bowl in the same place as your friends, you still need to keep your watch party organized. In addition to a virtual watch party planning template, Monday.com is also offering a questionnaire template where you can predict what will happen during the game ahead of time.
The virtual party template offers a fun feature that shows where everyone is watching from on a map, as well as the ability to easily share links like your Zoom watch party, snack recipes, and more.
Plus, if you download the templates before midnight on Wednesday, Feb. 9, you could be one of 1,000 people to win a $250 Papa John’s eGift Card. You can enter the giveaway on Facebook or Instagram.
03
Play A Game Of Commercial Bingo
The fun doesn't stop during game breaks. Super Bowl commercials are so entertaining to watch, and you can really take them to the next level by playing a fun game of Commercial Bingo. Purchase, download, and print some Super Bowl 2022 Bingo cards ($5, Etsy) so everyone's ready to play.
04
Try A Round Of Football-Themed Trivia
Get the party started by testing everyone's knowledge of football history. Quiz the group with some trivia questions about football and see who will earn the game day trophy.
05
Perform Your Own Halftime Show
Every halftime show during the Super Bowl is epic and never seems to last long enough. Instead of having the fun end, consider singing some jams to your Zoom crowd. Not only will your crew enjoy a second show, but they might be inspired to grab a mic for their own performance.
06
Replay Your Fave Clips From Past Super Bowls
When this year's Super Bowl ends, that doesn't mean your party has to stop. Keep the spirits high by re-watching some of your favorite highlights from past Super Bowls. The old mems and parties these playbacks bring up are sure to make everyone smile.
07
Prepare Themed Drinks For Team Spirit
Spending more time at home is the best way to try out new recipes and even come up with your own drinks. To give your virtual Super Bowl party extra team spirit, have everyone send out their favorite game day co*cktail recipes in advance. Your friends can prepare them during the Zoom party if they're 21 or up.
08
Rate The Halftime Commercials
Set up a rating system for your Super Bowl Sunday squad to rate the epic half-time commercials, from “terrible” to “the best commercial I’ve ever seen.” Then, play close attention to the commercial breaks and share your scores over Zoom. You could even place your commercial choices in brackets and decide on the best Super Bowl 2022 ad at the end of the game.
09
Play A Card Game Online
Just because you aren’t hanging out in person, that doesn’t mean you can’t still play a card game or two with your friends while you’re watching the game. The online platform Trickster Cards offers a ton of different card games, and you can invite your friends to play with you, so it’s like you’re all sitting around the same table together.
