The Big Game brings a few highlights with it - the half time show, the food and, for many, the commercials! Here is a fun DIY game the entire family can play during the commercial breaks that gets everyone involved and having fun. Create a set of voting cards for everyone and rate each commercial.
What you need:
- Paper, cardstock, or index cards
- Wooden sticks or straws
- Markers, crayons, or colored pencils
What you do:
- Print art work of “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” pictures that you find online or draw your own.
- Glue onto colored construction paper and tape a wooden stick to each one.
- Give each person their own set, then after each commercial encourage everyone to cast their vote.
- Choose an older child or adult to keep track of the votes so you can announce the winners at the end of the game.
PRO TIP: If your kids are older, consider assigning a score of 1-5 for each commercial, with 5 being a YouTube sensation and 1 being a Snore Fest. Compare scores and discuss what you loved!
