Want to give partygoers a chance to test their sports skills at your next big-game gathering? If so, check out this video on how to build a football wall toss game. Aside from serving up great food, the next best way to score party host points is by offering interactive games your guests can take part in.
Of course, you can still focus on the big game. But during downtime, halftime, or in the event of a blowout (hopefully in favor of your team) you can have your own fun. There are always lots of store-bought outdoor games you can buy and use in a pinch—but building your own ups the fun and satisfaction.
