Here are some FUN AND EDUCATIONAL IDEAS that incorporate Steeler history facts into your Family Super Bowl!…


The object of this game is to score as many points as possible by answering the game questions as well as the extra point kick. The person with the most points wins.


* You can design your own questions, or go use this list of Q&A’s I've designed for you. Choose as many or as few questions as you feel appropriate. You’ll want to keep the degree of difficulty fair so that every family member has a fair chance.


* Perhaps you can vote whether or not everyone is allowed to research answers (computer).


* Decide on the winning prize: most correct answers

-gets to choose game day snacks

-or, or, or…. You decide!!!!!!!!!!!
