Young: 4-6 yrs. old

(The activities below use Batman as an example, but there are equivalent Spiderman activities.)

Spiderman/Batman leads the following games:

 

Art table is laid out which contains Batman stickers and art supplies.

 We hand out drums and mallets, play the Batman song on the CD and have them drum to “Batman.”

If Robert does the party, he teaches them the Batman song using the guitar.  The children sing it using their drums without mallets.

We line them up against the wall and play Batman Says.  We start with “Batman says”  and then see if they are savvy to commands not preceded by “Batman Says."

 

Then we do a rhythmic jumping forward and back game using the guitar. "When a superhero says 'yes' he jumps like this.”

We take out the parachute and tell them it is the parachute that stops the Batmobile when it is going really fast.

First we play a game where we all hold the handles of the parachute and  say 1-2-3- Badguy!  And everyone would get under the parachute.  I tell them that sometimes superheroes have to hide from bad guys and sometimes they have to fight them. This is the hiding part.

Then we put all the balls on the parachute (one bag) and had them try to shake them off.   We pretend the balls are badguys and we bounce them off the parachute.

 

Then we played Batman bombardment.  They aim at me from behind a line and I deflect the balls with a ball in my hand.

Pinata game included. 

 

 

 

 

Older: 6-10 yrs. old

(The activities below use Batman as an example, but there are equivalent Spiderman activities.)

Spiderman/Batman leads the following games:

*Crime Wrap: Divide the kids into teams of threes or fours. Hand each team a roll of toilet paper. Give the kids a minute to decide who, in each of their groups, will be the criminal. To start the game, call "Wrap 'em", and watch the teams race to wrap up their "criminal mummy" using every bit of toilet paper. The first team to finish wins!

*Spider Web Escape: Have all the Spiderman birthday party guests assemble in a circle. Have each extend their right hand into the circle and grab the right hand of another party guest.

Have them extend their left hand into the circle and grab the left of any party guest, except the one whose right hand they are already holding. Explain that they are now in a human spider web and must escape by untangling the web while still holding hands.

*Green Goblin Freeze Tag: Define the boundaries of a square shaped area. Elect one child to be Green Goblin to stand in the center. Have all the other guests line up at one end of the square area.

The players try to run across to the other side of the play area as Green Goblin tries to tag them. If tagged, the guests become Green Goblin servants, and they must reach out and tag the other Spidermen running by while keeping one foot planted. The game continues until all Spidermen have been caught, and the last Spiderman can be the new Green Goblin.

*Mr. Freeze: Before the party, get Spiderman theme music. Explain that everyone must dance while the music plays, but must freeze when the music stops. (Those who don't freeze - go out of the game.)

Start the music and then stop it. When all the children have frozen, start the music again. Keep repeating this, letting the music play for different lengths of time.
