The Super Bowl is this coming Sunday. Just like last year, I predict that the Patriots will win. The odds are good that you have some students who are also interested in the game. Try one of the following resources to turn your students’ enthusiasm for the Super Bowl into a fun lesson.

One of the games that is timely considering that the Super Bowl is just a few days away is Financial Football.

Financial Football takes at least twenty minutes to play.
