FUN SUPER BOWL GAMES: Football Bingo
I have to admit, and if you know me you already know this, I usually watch football games for the food, friends and fun. I don’t know a ton about the game, I tend to cheer for the team that will end up losing and I ask a lot of questions that drive people crazy.
I decided that this year I would create a fun little Football Bingo game to play during the game to keep me a little more entertained! I’m so excited to play during the Super Bowl this year, we’re having lots of people over so it should be fun! I love the idea of starting a new tradition during the big game with some fun Super Bowl Party Games!
HOW TO PLAY SUPER BOWL FOOTBALL BINGO
Here are a few rules and tips on how to play Football Bingo – make sure to clarify everything with your guests before you start the game! I grabbed a bag of M&M’s to use as the bingo markers!
Play this football BINGO game as you watch Kansas City and Tampa Bay play Sunday in Super Bowl LV. Make your game day viewing party even more entertaining by adding this Free Printable Football Bingo to the activity list! Perfect for fans of all ages, this themed printable uses SKITTLES® Original Fruit Bite Size Candies, M&M'S® Peanut Chocolate Candy, and SNICKERS® Fun Size® Chocolate Bars to add tasty fun to your party.
- You can ONLY cover squares when you see or hear things said during the game – not commercials or halftime!
Play is simple. Give everyone bingo markers or stampers like these and have them cover squares when they see or hear those items during the game. When someone gets five across – horizontal, vertical, or diagonal – they win a prize. Easy Peasy!

I grew up in a house of all women. I have two sisters and no brothers. But that didn’t mean we didn’t watch football. My dad spent most Saturdays in the fall watching college football on TV. We spent many Friday evenings at our local high school football games. We were a family that loved football.
But despite all that time watching football, no one every taught me the rules of the game. I knew the basics like a touchdown and interception. But an option play or even a touch back meant nothing to me.
Then, my senior year in college I played on my sorority’s flag football team. We were coached by a couple of football players from the college team and they finally explained the game to me. I’m still no expert, but I understand much more.
Last week, my 8 year old son started asking ME questions about the football game we were watching. He wanted to know if the quarterback could get tackled. I answered as best I knew and went to find his dad before I steered him wrong. And then I came up with the idea of a football bingo game to teach the kids about the game.
College football game day is still a big deal in our house, but I can never seem to plan ahead. On my last weekly trip to Sam’s Club, I noticed Red Baron Minis Deep Dish Pizzas in the end cap in the freezer section.

They are perfect to have on hand when I forget we need some serious snacks for game day.

Heat up a few trays of Red Baron Mini Pizzas either before the game starts or during half-time. Sam’s Club has a 32 pack so there are plenty to go around!
You can also decorate with a few homemade football decorations like our No Sew Felt Football Field Table Runner and these super cute burlap football coasters.
Give each person a football bingo card and a few pennies as markers before the game starts. Explain the “rules” of the game and that the first person to get a TEAM (BINGO) wins.
Once the game starts, start marking the bingo cards as different plays or events happen in the game like a punt, first down, pick 6, etc. This is where the kids can start asking you about the game and the rules and learn the terminology.
Have a little prize picked out for the bingo winners – maybe an extra Red Baron Mini Pizza!
