Break out your jerseys and the grill and have some good ol' fashioned sports mania.
DINNER: Tailgate Food
Tailgates are known for chips, dip, pop and anything grilled.
If it gets your fingers messy, come in a bag, jar or can, it probably makes for a great dinner tonight.
Use oval crackers and some squeezy cheese to make football themed snacks.
Good food options include: hotdogs, hamburgers, brats, chips, dip, nachos, popcorn, cotton candy, soda

CRAFT: Stadium Blankets and Fan Fingers
Nothing is more comfy than curling up with your very own stadium blanket. Make it easy for kids with 1 1/2 yds of their favorite fleece.
Cut 3-4 inch slits along 2 sides and let them tie in individual knots. Ta Da!

Fan Fingers cutouts can be made with a paper bag and some imagination.
Draw a hand shape on a paper bag with a marker, then let your kids decorate it however they want.

ACTIVITY: Ball Toss
Wouldn't it be great to be selected to do the throw for a couple thousand dollars? Since most of us don't have that kind of cash, we did a toss for dessert. Use a football (any kind) and move a box to different locations and see if you can make it.
This can be done outside or inside and in any location...down a hall, off a balcony, over a kitchen counter.
Optional: when you're done, take a nap in the box.
