Super Bowl ideas

We are having a super bowl party with the neighbors. Looking to do something to make it more fun. WE came up with doing the squares when everyone arrives. Each family will get a certain amount of boxes then they can fill and each quarter we'll give out funny prizes.
We would put out 4 bags and each quarter the winner will grab their prize. 1st we thought we would get a mug with a funny saying like "World's Okay'st neighbor" with a $5 DD gift card.
We saw a wine glass that said "good luck finding better neighbors than us" and would throw in a bottle of wine.
Nothing too crazy, but something to make it more fun.

Any funny ideas without spending too much?
We may do a bag of candy and $10 Amazon GC for final prize, but like it to be fun.

We may just cricut the mug and wine glass than order since we have it.

Thanks!

We figured we'd do families, but the kids aren't little. They're all preteen to teenagers so even though it may be a bottle of wine it's the family who would win and get bragging rights. LOL

Nothing that says anything rude or vulgar since there are 11 year olds. LOL! But fun neighbor gifts or sayings along with a small gift card.

Super Bowl ideas

We usually just do money and each individual gets their own boxes and it makes it fun. Like each box is $2 and if there are 20 people everyone gets 5 boxes...

Same here. Everyone has a limit of 10 boxes unless there are more left that day. The gift for winning is cash. Any age can play.

I am not sure if this year we will have enough people to fill up all the boxes. Last year we had a smaller party too (our bigger party is another game during the season) and we were able to do a 10 person game (not everyone participated).

As of right now it looks like maybe in between at 20 people coming so we might have to figure another type of game.

With small parties, we call up people who cant come (parents, siblings, friends). Usually people venmo money over because they want in on any sort of cash prize.

Yeah we keep it to only the people who are present at the party now. Try to keep to cash too as it is just easier to hand over the money and more exciting lol

We usually just do money also with $2 boxes. But to answer your question...maybe Dunkin or 7-11 gift cards, beer from a local brewery or gc to places local to your town? Like where I live, there are moms on FB who make chocolates, cookies, empanadas...maybe gifts or gift cards from someone like that?
