How To Occupy The Kids During A Superbowl Party?
Born into a Steelers family, married into a Steelers family… you can imagine the size of the party we’re having Sunday! Whenever we entertain, my own kids end up having to do a major overhaul on the toy room. This weekend with about 20 kids whose parents are busy paying more attention to the game, how can I keep the disaster to a minimum? We’ve already moved Legos and other toys with lots of pieces up to the bedrooms. I might also hire a sitter. Other ideas?

GO STEELERS<3 sorry had to throw that out there
Make snack and drinks for everyone and hand foods for the kids give them a football and get them outside, little kids have an imagination tell them to play like they are in the suber bowl. when it gets dark you can put on their favorite movie or just let the kids play around, have the oldest in charge it will be fine.
Have fun!

Thank god you said STEELERS!! We are HUGE fans too! I only have to keep my own 3 busy for a bit before bed.
Are they all young kids? A movie might keep them entertained a bit and if they are school age, a Wii or a Playstation will also help.
A sitter is a great idea, at least to help with getting them snacks and such. But truly, if you are the hostess, it isn’t too much to ask the parents to watch their own kids or at least rotate moms so everyone can relax a bit.

If you’re hosting the party I’d let everyone know ahead of time that you’re hiring a sitter and ask for contributions to cover the cost. It’s not just your kids they’ll be watching. When folks start to arrive make it clear to the kids and the parents that they’ll be expected to help clean up the play room.
Good luck with this one
