If your family enjoys placing prop bets during the Super Bowl, you're in luck! Prop betting can be incorporated into any televised sporting event. Write up a few sport-specific questions and tune in. Make family-friendly prop betting even more engaging for kids by associating fun, active "wagers" with each question. For example, five jumping jacks or two laps around the living if you guess incorrectly. In the words of the Hunger Games, 'may the odds ever be in your favor.'
