Super Bowl Fever!

Although online Tournesol is a "national" store, our brick and mortar shop is located in wonderful Shadyside area of Pittsburgh...which means we are Steelers fans! Regardless of whether you actually enjoy watching the football game (which I do), the Super Bowl is the perfect opportunity for a party. Choosing a team to cheer on makes the party even more fun!


Many Super Bowl parties end up with women in one room and men in another room. One way to bring everyone together at least four times during the game is to have an activity. The following is great, because it doesn't take a lot of time and everyone enjoys it!

* Take a large square of poster board and draw a 10 square x 10 square grid on numbering each square from 0-100.

* Put the name of one team at the top and the other team on the side.

* Your guests will purchase squares for a nominal amount. Typically, $1 per square will do.

* At the end of each quarter, take the last number of each team's score and find the corresponding square. For example, if the Steelers are ahead 17 - 3, you would go to square 7 and then go down 3 squares.

* The person who bought that square would win the "pot" for that quarter.

Although it would be nice to say that I hope that whichever team you are cheering on wins, I honestly cannot...but I do hope you all have a great time! Enjoy the game! Go Steelers!!!
