Ready to unleash your inner athletes and make the game a slam-dunk of fun and bonding? Here are some extra ideas to take your sporting event family time to the next level.
Be Sure To Pre-Game
- Learn the Chants: Look up some popular cheers and chants for your team. Practice them at home to be ready to join the crowd.
- Fan Gear: Wear your team colors, and get creative with an afternoon of making homemade signs as a family. As an extra bonus, you might be featured on the big-screen at the game! (Be sure you can bring tour signs into the game.)
- Tailgate at Home: Recreate a tailgate experience in your driveway or backyard with snacks and simple games, think cornhole, ladder toss, etc.
- Check for Theme Nights: Many teams have special events like kids’ nights, retro jersey nights, etc. These can add extra fun to the adventure!
Hype The Home Team
- Wave Starter: Be the ones to try and get the crowd wave going around the stadium!
- Play-by-Play: Take turns being the “announcer,” giving a hilarious rundown of what’s happening on the field.
Bonus Games
- Game Recap: Have each person share their favorite moment from the game, or their funniest observation.
- Revel In Your Victory: Win or lose, plan a stop for ice cream or another favorite treat on the way home. This gives everyone more time to talk about what they enjoyed the most about the day.
