Tie a piece of black twine around the mini metal bucket.
Fill the bucket with the candy. Guests will use these pieces of candy to mark their bingo squares. We kept things neutral with silver and white, but you could pick candy that coordinates with the teams matched up against each other in the Big Game, or your favorite team's colors.
Insert a white lollipop stick into the mini foam finger. Place the lollipop stick with the foam finger in the candy bucket and then display them in a visible area so guest can grab one as they arrive and play along.
Have guests mark off the items they see during the game or commercials until someone has 5 in a row and yells "BINGO." You can play several rounds and hand out prizes for the winners or for the ultimate prize you can give the guest with the most wins the coveted DIY Lombardi Football Trophy. Either way, your guests are going to have lots of fun playing Football Bingo during the game. Make sure to check out my entire Nacho Bar Football Party along with my recipe for Cheesy Chili Dip.
