Instructional Ideas

• Create an interdisciplinary unit to use as many ideas as possible in a connected curriculum
• Differentiate the activities depending on grade and skill level by extending research options
• Encourage individuals to watch this year's Super Bowl and note relevant facts, events, commercials, or statistics to analyze in class the day after Super Bowl Sunday

Classroom Considerations

• Does not include lesson plans or materials for each suggestion, which makes each idea limited but flexible
• Activities require a variety of settings, such as an outdoor field for measuring the speed of a football or a computer lab to use Google Earth

Pros

• Provides creative ways to incorporate the Super Bowl into academic skills, such as analyzing team statistics, designing a nutritionally-sound party menu, and planning a virtual trip to the big game
• Includes additional links for lists of classroom activities

Cons

• None
