It’s one of my favorite times of the year. The NCAA basketball tournament starts next week, so during the next weeks there will be plenty of fun to have with your family.
I’m sure that you’ve had a tournament pool at work. You put the teams that you want in your bracket, pay a fee and then the person with the most wins gets the pool.
You can do the same thing at home, without the money of course… but you can have prizes. The first thing to do is get a bracket - on Monday there will be tons of them in your paper and online. We’ll put a link on a blog post on Monday as well. Even if you have kids in your house that don’t like sports if you make the prizes interesting enough - then they will want to get involved.
1. Get everyone to fill out a tournament bracket.
2. Every person that watches a game with the family gets 5 points (no matter if their team wins or not).
3. Every time your team wins you get 5 points.
4. During games that the family watches each person chooses a team to cheer for. If the team you’re cheering for wins - you get five points.
Add up the points at the end of the tournament and give prizes to everyone… not just the winners.
This is also a good time to go to local basketball games… we had our regional tournament in our town last week. Tickets are usually not that expensive.
Have a wonderful day.
