In considering all the possibilities and options available for a Super Bowl party, I found a plethora of options including healthy options for standard Super Bowl foods such as beer, hoagies, clam chowder, rich onion gravy and fries, chili burgers and hotdogs I also found a great list of party games and activities. So after thinking about it, I realized one thing. Aside from a football betting pool, if someone suggested an activity during the Super Bowl that didn’t involve being glued to the game and only getting out long enough to run to the bathroom, OR trying to get that hoagie and chips off your fingers someone, there was going to be a real problem. You can add some fun things to your betting pool like how long the game will last, the MVP, who wins the coin toss, first touchdown and turnover, the score at the end of each quarter, etc.

For that reason, here is a disclaimer regarding Super Bowl healthy activities, games, and alternatives in hopes that you don’t feel inferior if everyone in your house preferred the tried-and-true healthy activities and alternatives. With that said, here are some suggestions you could use as alternatives, if you so choose.

o Curiosities of football

or Soccer Pinata

or rubber-tipped dart guns so your guests can shoot the opposing team on the TV screen
