Superhero birthday party (ages 2 to 10)

Spiderman or Superman, Batman or Buzz Lightyear. Whoever your child's favourite superhero is, here's everything you'll need to create a super celebration




Invitation ideas

  • Cut out action hero emblems and logos from felt. Cut out the same logos from double-sided iron-on interfacing paper. Iron the two layers together. Post the logos and the party details to your guests. Tell the guests to ask their parents to iron the logos onto old T-shirts or capes, and to wear them to the party.
  • Make a copy of a page from an action hero comic, Tippex out some of the speech bubbles, fill in the party details, make copies and post to guests.

Costume ideas

  • Have the children dress up as action heroes.
  • Supply kids with masks, capes, gloves, glasses and other accessories.

Decoration ideas

  • Set a super scene by creating or buying giant cut-outs of action heroes or hanging them on the walls of the party room.
  • Play action hero theme songs.
  • Make table centrepieces and decorations with small plastic action figures and comics.

Games

  • Host an 'Action Hero Olympics'. Prepare a series of challenging feats, varying the games so that everyone has a chance to win. Include long jumping, fast running, long-distance ball throwing, balance-beam walking, obstacle course challenges and relay races. Be sure to have plenty of adults on hand to supervise.
  • Play 'Super Hearing'. Have the guests identify mysterious tape-recorded sounds.
  • Play 'Super Tasting'. Blindfold the children and have them taste and guess foods.
  • Play 'Super Smelling'. Blindfold the kids and have them sniff a variety of aromas and name the sources.
  • Play 'Super Vision'. Have the kids look at enlarged or reduced pictures and everyday items and guess what they are.
