Spiderman Birthday Party Theme

Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters from the world of comics. Kids love spiderman and want to be him. Well then it is the best thing to have a spiderman party and give the kids an opportunity to be their favourite character.

There is also this site called www.kideo.com from where you can purchase the I am Spiderman video they superimpose the child's face throughout their Spiderman movie so your child will be Spiderman. It is an amazing thing to make the kids watch this video in your party with your child being the spiderman.

Ideas for making the card

Take a picture of the birthday child wearing Spiderman costume. Get that picture printed on the front of the invitation cards. You can use a post-card.

You can use black construction paper and paint it like a spider web with white paint. Get a spiderman picture approximately the same size of the spider-web or smaller  from a near-by store or you can take a print-out online (cut off the extra part). Write the party details on the back of the picture or back of the spider-web (with white paint). Get both the web and spiderman laminated. Stick the spider-man  on the web with a two-sided tape.

Decoration

1. Best colors to use for your Spiderman birthday party decorations are red, blue, green, yellow and black. Print images of the Spiderman characters, and tape them to the fence. Make a balloon arch by tying red and blue balloons to a kite string about 12" apart. (Alternate balloons so you have a nice theme pattern).
2. Use a white table cloth and hang red and blue colour streamers all over it.
3. Make a spider-city. Use boxes and paint them silver, place them in a line like buildings infront and back, use ropes to decorate that wall and stick a lot of plastic spider all around.
4. You can stick a large spiderman poster on one of the walls or hang it in the middle of the venue.
5. Hang spiders from the ceiling. Use black kite-string as their webs.
6. Make lots of spider webs out of cotton in your backyard, and attach plastic spiders. 

On the Arrival

1. Make spiderman eye-masks for the kids out of white paper. Set up a painting corner and let the kids paint their spider masks red. Get one of the adults to help the younger ones make a black web on their mask. Let the kids write their names on the back of their masks. Keep them aside for drying. Give the kids their mask as a thank-you note.
2. You can also get ready-made spiderman masks and give the kids as soon as they enter so that they can enjoy their spidy party. You can also click a picture of the guests with the mask and email the picture to the kids with a thank-you note that says, THANK YOU so much for coming. Having you there made my year.

Fun Games

1. Stick the Spider On Spiderman Game: This game is played just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. With a sheet of poster board and a permanent black marker, draw a spider web. Make small paper spiders with construction paper, or plastic spiders. Use glue dots (craft store) or double stick tape to attach the spiders to the web. Blindfold the kids and let them stick the spiders on the web in just 1min. The one who has maximum spiders stuck wins.
2. Spiderman's Web Walk: Just like a cake walk with webs!! Cut circles from poster board. Use a permanent marker to draw spider webs. In the center if each web write a number 1-3. Make corresponding number cards as well. To play: Place the webs in a circle. Play Spiderman theme music (or any fun music) and have the children step from web to web. When the music stops, draw one of the numbers from a bag. The players that are standing on the webs with that number, get a sticker or candy. Play this game several times until every player has received a treat.
3. Sandman Art: You'll definitely want this activity outdoors and in play clothes only! Fill a few large plastic tubs with fine sandbox sand and water. The children can play in the sand to create objects over and over again. Just lie at the beach...if you add plenty of water, the sand mixture can drip through their closed hands, or use cups to gently pour the wet sand.
4. 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!
5. Spider Catch: Hide plastic spiders throughout the party area. Leave some completely visible, so they act as Spider Man party decor. At game time, explain to the kids that some of spiders have gotten loose from a research lab. Instruct the party guests to search for and collect the spiders.
6. Spiderman Movie: Purchase the movie on the web address mentioned above and let the kids enjoy.
7. Fearless Crawler Course: The kids can get a taste of what Spiderman deals with using a creative obstacle course. Set the course up, so the children have to: walk along a narrow board, jump over a pile of trees, run around chairs, etc. (If playing indoors, use such objects as small table, wastebasket, pile of toys, etc.) Line the kids up in single file. One by one, have them run through the obstacle course while you time them with a stopwatch. The fastest child wins!
