Something You Can Use: The Source Annual Super Bowl Quiz for Your Super Bowl Party

A READY-MADE SUPER BOWL PARTY

Here are the basics on what to do:

WHERE:
You need to find a place to host the party! You can use your church’s youth room (if you have a TV source), you could rent a place, or you could ask to use a church member’s home. Unlike previous years, there are NO restrictions on the size of the screen or the number of screens you can use. Think BIG!!

WHEN:
Super Bowl Sunday of course, Sunday, February 7, 2010. (CBS is broadcasting this year’s Super Bowl. The game starts at 6:00pm EST.)

PRIZES:
That’s right-grab some cool prizes to give away. (Let your students know ahead of time they can win prizes… they’re a great draw for your party!). Dinner certificates, iTunes gift cards, ski tickets, sports memorabilia, free registration on upcoming youth ministry trip, etc. all work great for prizes. Or, if you don’t have resources/funds for those kinds of prizes, there are always SNICKERS, MILK DUDS and DING DONGS! The prizes go to those who do best on the “Super Bowl Quiz.” You’ll see . . . keep reading!

COST:
It’s gotta be free! You can’t charge money for a television or movie event. But you can do a “BRING YOUR OWN…” event- your basic POT LUCK. (For example, girls bring a 2 Liter and guys bring a bag of chips. Or you can have each age group bring a certain type of food.)

SUPER BOWL DAY AGENDA:
The agenda for this event is pretty easy. You give them a quiz (see SUPER BOWL QUIZ below) as they enter the party. They have to fill it out before the game begins because some of the questions have to do with the beginning of the game, like coin toss. Don’t allow anyone to fill out the quiz past kickoff- they’ll have an unfair advantage with the final score, etc.

Then you just let everyone enjoy the game. You can also interject a few “Super Bowl Challenges” from our “Up Front Games” page and give a few prizes away. Then at the end, I tally up the quizzes and give away the grand prizes.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, YOU have to note certain stats during the game to complete your answer key, then tally the quizzes right there at the party so you can award the winner immediately.)

It’s a great event where students can get to know each other. For More Super Bowl Party ideas from prior Ezines CLICK HERE.

ABOUT OUR ANNUAL SUPER BOWL QUIZ

A Competition for Your Super Bowl Party: The Super Bowl Quiz… A Football-knowledge Quiz For All!

IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PERSON GIVING THE SUPER BOWL QUIZ ? NOT the kids

The quiz is one of the fun aspects of the party. This is the quiz that you give each student as they walk in the party. The quiz asks some basic football knowledge questions, and some questions specific to the game that day. A lot of the questions are just plain luck- like who will win the coin toss, or whether Coke or Pepsi will have the first commercial. Other questions might ask who will get the most yards, etc.

Have students take the quiz before they enter- and –IMPORTANT- have a group of staff take notes during the game, filling in the answers, and then have them tally up the scores as the game ends. (Some of the answers won’t be complete until the finish of the game. i.e.: Who is going to win?)

I’ve made up a possible quiz for you with the help of my die-hard football-fan friend Todd Pearage (A Steelers fan, no doubt) who most of you know from our MOVIE REVIEW page. Feel free to also look at www.nfl.com or www.superbowl.com for more good information on the teams, half time shows, etc. so you can add, change, or verify more quiz questions.

PLEASE READ THIS: I say again- because every year some people email me after the event and ask us for the answers. WE DON’T PROVIDE ALL THE ANSWERS… because we can’t. That’s the purpose of this quiz, to tally it during the game and give away the prize at the end of your party. Most of these answers are determined during the game- and you’ll need someone to take notes during the Super Bowl game to make your answer key for correcting the quizzes at the end! We only provide answers to the questions that will not be determined during the game. Also- DON’T print out the answer key (below the quiz) for the kids. (Yeah… duh! But you would NOT believe how many people email us every year about both!)

Youth Culture Window: A Consuming Generation-Kids’ Media Usage Has Dramatically Increased

An article from David R. Smith at TheSource4YM.com

In 2004, a teenager might have shouted, “Just one more song!” to their parents when mom or dad called them downstairs to dinner. Nowadays, that same kid is more likely to say, “Just one more hour of songs!”

Cause in 2009, that’s about how much more music they’re listening to… daily.

The Magic of Music
In our last Youth Culture Window article about kids’ consumption of “entertainment media,” as studied and reported by The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), we promised you a breakdown of various media elements in follow up articles. We thought Part 1 should focus on the fastest growing form of entertainment media: music.

That’s right. Although “TV” retained its top position of “most-consumed media,” the category of “music/audio” gained the most ground between KFF’s 2004 report and their 2009 report. This melodic category saw an increase of 47 minutes every day between the two reports, bringing music/audio’s total consumption to 2 hours and 19 minutes every day.

This category is technically referred to as “music/audio,” because music isn’t the only form of auditory entertainment kids 8-18 take in each day; there are a few minor elements such as “news” or “talk shows.” But, just to put the breakdown into perspective, “non-music audio content” only comprises about 15 minutes each day.

That means more than 2 full hours is dedicated solely to tunes…

Spiritual Growth Resource of the Week: Kurt Warner-a High Profile Believer

Just in time for the Super Bowl, we’ve provided you with a brand new SPIRITUAL GROWTH AGENDA about a true hero of our faith, Kurt Warner, the famed MVP and Super Bowl champion quarterback. In this resource, we provide you an online article jump starter, a Bible passage, some small group questions, and a challenge-oriented wrap up.
