Printable Super Bowl board squares are an easy way to add friendly competition to a Super Bowl party. The standard board has a 10-by-10 grid with 100 playing squares. Participants claim open spaces by writing in their names or initials, while the top row and side column are used for the two teams’ score numbers.
This activity works well for family parties, neighborhood gatherings, workplace events, classrooms, and fundraisers. Football experts and casual viewers can participate because the outcome depends on the numbers assigned to each square, not on predicting the winner. You can play for prizes, small treats, bragging rights, or no money at all.
How to use a Super Bowl squares board
- Print the board. Use a blank 100-square grid with space for the team names, player names, and number labels.
- Label the teams. Write one team across the top and the other team along the side. Confirm which direction each team uses before anyone chooses a square.
- Set the rules. Decide whether each square is free or has a set cost. If prizes are included, explain how the prize pool will be divided before the board opens.
- Let players choose squares. Have each person write a name or initials in one or more open boxes. Keep a separate list if several people share a square or if players pay in advance.
- Draw the numbers last. Randomly assign the digits 0 through 9 to the top row and side column after the board is filled. Drawing numbers afterward keeps every square equally unpredictable.
- Check scores during the game. At the end of each quarter, halftime, and the final score, compare the last digit of each team’s score with the matching row and column. Mark the winning square and record the winner.
Practical printing tips
- Use standard letter-size paper and print in landscape orientation if the board includes large writing areas.
- Select “actual size” or “100% scale” so the grid does not shrink too much.
- Choose a dark text setting and check the preview before printing several copies.
- Use cardstock for a reusable board, or place regular paper in a plastic sleeve and write with a dry-erase marker.
- Print an extra copy for recording payments, prize amounts, or quarter-by-quarter winners.
- Leave team names blank if you want to reuse the board for another football game.
For the clearest setup, fill every square before drawing the numbers and announce the rules before selections begin. A simple, readable board helps guests follow the game without needing lengthy instructions.
