You are welcome to read more about our birthday parties. This is SUPERHERO PARTIES. You may also choose: Selections from Who we are:
|
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. 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. *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. *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.) pinata game and more! |
