Since I'm on the other side of the pond, and the games are usually on early a.m.. First thing I do is begin the count down to game time so that the family has a warning that anything they are watching is getting turned off! I make breakfast so that at game time I can curl up on the couch with my tea, and breakfast to watch the game. Sometimes the kids will join me but most times I send them out because they talk too much and I can concentrate on the game. They all come running when I cheer or holler about something.
