1. AFL Bingo
Getting your mates involved in a game of AFL Grand Final bingo is a great way to raise the stakes whilst still keeping your eyes glued to the action on the telly. The premise is simple: choose a list of events that are likely to occur during the game and then write different combinations of them on individual bingo cards. From someone mentioning how great the Optus Stadium looks, to a comment on some wearing a facemask, you can go as specific or as broad as you like. Not sure what to put on your footy bingo card? You can use ours! Us footy fanatics at Prezzee have put together a AFL bingo card that you can share with your mates.

Wearing your team’s colours is a point of pride. You can show your support with a beanie or scarf…or, why not lollies?

Each player is then given one minute to pick out the lollies with their team’s colours and put them in a plastic cup. The player who can get the most lollies in their cup wins! This game is fast-paced and involves a sweet treat which makes it the perfect game to play during the half-time ad break.
