Hello, and happy Saturday fun-day! If you’ve been around here before, you know that I’m a big Ohio State Buckeyes fan. In fact Ohio State football is one of my favorite things about fall. Today is the home opener and I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!
I’ve been on the hunt for great ideas for a fun football party all Summer and am so excited to share with you some of the amazing ideas I’ve found (and even more excited to use them whenever I decide to have my football party!). When I get set on a theme, I get a little crazy compulsive with it, if you haven’t noticed that about me. 😉 So watch out, football overload ahead!

Football Manicure
I will absolutely be rocking this manicure at some point this season! (Although the green will of course be substituted for scarlet for my Buckeyes!)

Football Bingo
While I enjoy the game so much, I understand that not everyone shares the same excitement. What can make any situation more fun? A game! I created these football bingo cards (they’re printable, links below!) to have as a way to keep party-goers interested in the game, even though they may have no interest in the game if you know what I mean! There are 5 different versions of the bingo cards, along with a blank copy so that you can have as many players as you want. I understand that some of the game’s terms may be foreign to someone who isn’t a big football fan, but it’s a great way to keep them engaged with those who are fans… who knows, maybe after they learn some more about the game through the Bingo game they will be football converts! 😉 Football stickers or good old star stickers can be used to mark the Bingo cards.

Football Party Photo Booth
Another fun activity for everyone… who doesn’t love a photo booth?! These football themed props, a simple DIY ref backdrop and an iPad make this great idea by Hostess with the Mostess come to life!

These are great! Our church is having a tailgating party for the whole family this weekend and I think that Bingo game will be a hit! Great way for football “learners” to get in the game, too!
Lydia says
I’m so glad you liked them Janet! The BINGO game is really fun! I’d love to hear how your party goes! 🙂

What a good idea! I’ve gone to so many football parties but haven’t ever seen these fun ideas! And I need to find someone who can do this fun manicure! 🙂

I’m not really a football fan but would love to play Bingo at the next party I go to. I’m always so bored when everyone is into the football.
