Super Bowl week doesn’t have to be a wash. The Super Bowl ELA Pack combines three student-loved, standards-aligned activities that channel Super Bowl hype into meaningful ELA skill practice—perfect for the Friday before the game or the Monday after.
This bundle includes argumentation, rhetorical analysis, and critical thinking through pop culture your students can get behind! Use both resources OR let students choose their activity for the day!
Super Bowl Half Time ShowDown
Students create a bracket-style tournament of Super Bowl halftime shows, judge them by a chosen category (best songs, best dressed, most iconic, best overall, and more), and defend their champion using clear reasoning and evidence.
Timestamp: Where Context Is EVERYTHING
A fast-paced, discussion-based warm-up game where students use context clues, inference, and background knowledge to place pop culture moments in time. Perfect for bell ringers or transitions during Super Bowl week.
Commercial Kick Off
A digital, interactive analysis of Super Bowl commercials, available in two versions:
