Super Bowl Sunday is the time of year when guys celebrate their masculinity. If you're caught up in a situation where the boys are glued to the screen and you're not interested, what's a girl to do? Don't fight it! Brightening up the day with a little feminine energy makes it a day for everyone, not just for the boys.

Steps

  1. Reverse roles before the game. The guys get to perform a pre-game cheer and girls have to devise a play and act it out to launch the game day festivities. Set up a mini football game boys against girls and see who wins.
  2. Make an ice cube interception. If you're feeling playful and flirtatious, this can be a fun way to get his attention. Toss a cube his way with a wink and a wave. This is much better than shooting long disapproving stares at him, which could end up creating a conflict later.
  3. Have a battle of the genders. Start a football poll for the girls. Have each woman take exactly the opposite position of one of the guys. And at the end of the day see who really knows more about football.
  4. Give MVP Awards. Keep an eye on the MVP party goers. Keep secret voting ballots for the girls to pick:

    • Worst Joke
    • Worst Behavior
    • Best behaved
    • Heisman Trophy Snack Winner
    • Fewest Party Fouls
    • Worst Party Fumble
  5. Open up the NFL shop. Get the girls together beforehand and add a little football fun to your wardrobe. Make "NFL Champion" baby doll tees with nick names or code names. Buy flashy Super Bowl rings as party favors.
  6. Have the kids on clean up patrol all day long. Give them trash bags and let them know that every empty can they collect is money in their pocket. You'll take them down to the "Recycle Center" and turn the cans into cold, hard cash. You might even match the money and then take them to a special spot so they can spend it!
  7. Enforce toilet penalties and seat fouls. Every time the boys leave the seat up, the girls get to get a reprieve from the football talk. Feel free to bring up any non-Super Bowl-related topics for a few minutes without being shushed! This may work, but if the boys are a little too rowdy you might get kicked out for saying something about your favorite soap opera.
  8. Play football fun trivia. Have a competition between the women and the kids at the party and see who is up on their football trivia.
  9. Play footsie fumble, just in case the testosterone gets too thick. Have pedicure spa goodies on stand by and ask the girls to bring toe nail decals to trade and swap for a fun pedicure moment in the 4th quarter.
  10. Try to understand the football. Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you can't enjoy the actual Super Bowl game. Ask intelligent questions. Read a football rulebook. The funnest possible thing to do on Superbowl Sunday is to show up the boys with your football smarts. Hopefully, your boys will cooperate and explain it to you.

Tips

  • If you can get away, do it! Enjoy the ghost town you live in on a seriously empty Sunday afternoon. Try something new, go somewhere different, or see something you've been hoping to for a long time. Plan a Super Bowl fun shopping day, lunch, or visit to a museum.
  • You can set up a kids-only football game so the kids aren't bored or you can challenge them for a match.
  • Remember that the Super Bowl isn't just for football fans. Remember that there's the halftime show, and of course, the commercials.

Warnings

  • If you're a guy, you might get caught up.
  • This may ruin your relationship. Guys love this day of the year because it is indeed a masculine day. They probably want to watch the game not play games.
