Ways to host a kid-friendly Super Bowl party

February 1, 2018

The Super Bowl is one of my favorite events of the year, but you guessed right, not for the game. But for THE FOOD. Maybe because my team, the Chicago Bears are never in it. Haha Super Bowl food is the best. So whether you have a family or a party with kids, there is a little something for everyone to get you ready for the big game.I took some classic ideas, fun hosting tips, and made them it a little bit more kid-friendly.

Below are some affiliate links below at no cost to you to click on through!

Setup

I love hosting. It’s one of my favorite things to do. But if there are a lot of people, especially with little ones, I need easy ideas for setup and clean up. I decided to minimize the dishes and use Solo Cup Products to make clean up easy and less complicated.

They are completely disposable, recyclable and really durable. Wash them and reuse them for art projects, plastic silverware holder, games, indoor plants etc! We always try to find ways to reuse them.

The table cloth and other football decor are from Amazon!

Food:
  • BYO snack bar
  • pigs in a blanket
  • tater tot skewers
  • individual 7 layer dip cups (because nothing says football more than dip).

SOLO has write on cups that are perfect to label the snacks. In general, I think these cups are great for parties. Everyone can mark up their cups and no one loses their beverage!

The kids can make their own snack bowls with lids. These bowls are easy for them to hold and whatever they don’t finish, the bowls serve as to-go cups. The small, clear cups are the perfect size for the individual 7 layer dip cups.

Lastly, the paper plates are the adults for the skewers and other snacks.

Snack Bar

The best part of a snack bar is that you can customize it to your guests preferences. Since this is more kid friendly, the options are kid friendly, but even adults would enjoy them (I know I do!)

Pigs in a Blanket

This is an appetizer that everyone likes. You can definitely make them with recipes like this or you can buy them frozen, whatever makes your life easier! But either way, they are a great for kids and adults.

Pigs in the blanket are the best snacks for the Super Bowl
7 Layer Dip

These are perfect for a few reasons. The cups are very sturdy, so they are able to hold a lot without feeling too heavy. They are great size for those small hands and you don’t have to worry about any double dipping 🙂

Individual 7 layer dip cups
Instructions:

1. In a small bowl mix taco seasoning with refried beans.

2. Next, add about 2-2 1/2 tablespoons for each layer

  • Layer 1: beans and taco seasoning
  • Layer 2: sour cream
  • Layer 3: guacamole
  • Layer 4: pico de gallo
  • Layer 5: cheese
  • Layer 6: tomatoes
  • Layer 7: green onions and olives

3. Finally, garnish with one tortilla chip. Store in the refrigerator until serving and serve with chips. This makes around 6 individual dips.

Tater Tot Skewers

These are super easy to make and really fun to eat. You can eat them right off the skewer or add it to your SOLO plate. 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees, let them cool and add 4-5 tots to each skewer. You can add ketchup to the small SOLO cups for dipping. These are sharper than I would normally want, but there are lots of other options here.
