Game Day Magic

Fall weekends mean one thing: Game Day! Whether you're cheering on your hometown team, tailgating with family, or hosting a backyard watch party, game day is more than football … it's about family, tradition, and fun. At Smock Candy, we believe the smallest fans deserve the cutest, comfiest outfits and plenty of excitement to make those memories last. Here's your ultimate guide to Game Day with kids: what to do, what to wear, and how to make every Saturday (or Sunday) one for the scrapbook.

What To Do On Game Day with Kids

Game Day isn’t just for grown-ups. Make it fun and memorable for your little ones with easy, low-prep activities that turn the day into a celebration.

Host a Backyard Tailgate
Set up a little tent or table outside with team-colored snacks, music, and lawn games like mini cornhole or football toss. Let the kids decorate signs or flags to cheer on your team!

Paint Their Faces or Create Team Spirit Tattoos

Temporary tattoos or washable face paint in your team’s colors are an easy way to make kids feel part of the action.

Half-Time Dance Off

Turn up the fight song or a fun playlist during halftime and let the kids show off their best touchdown dances!
