Gridiron Activities

Passing Practice Tarp

This game is the perfect combination: easy to make and hours of fun! All it requires is a tarp, some scissors, and duct tape. Kids and adults alike will enjoy challenging themselves in this friendly competition. We suggest giving each participant 10 tries to see how many points they can rack up.  Pump up the challenge and move this game to the pool with a WAHU Waterproof Football.

Floating Pool Pong

Combine the fun of hanging out in the pool with one of the most fun tailgating games ever invented. The Nash Margaritaville floating pong is the perfect addition to your party. The game side is designed for hours of fun, while the reverse side can be used as a lounger. 3 solar charged LED light lets you take the pong gaming action into the night so the party never ends. The heavy-duty PVC body is built to last all season.

Football-Themed Cornhole

Cornhole is a hugely popular tailgating activity. The rules are simple but the game is deceptively hard. You can get custom cornhole boards with any color, team logo or design. If you are feeling intrepid you can even make them yourself. The best part is that all ages can play!
