From low-stress grub options to pregame recipes and DIY projects, we’ve got the starters for your family’s best Super Bowl weekend ever.

We don’t know if this Puppy Bowl VIII halftime performer’s name is Meowdonna, but it should be.

For many Chicagoans, “Giants vs. Patriots” might as well be “Who vs. Cares,” but let’s be honest: You’re going to watch the game anyway (and the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet, too). We rounded up activities for the family, places to grab food for the whole team, and for the early word on cable’s best pregame cutefest, chatted up this year’s rookie referee for Puppy Bowl VIII. For kids who are ready to take their gridiron skills to the next level, check out the summer camps we found for football-loving boys and girls. Game on!


Super Bowl XLVI airs live on NBC on Sunday, February 5. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30pm.
