Batman is in Gotham City, and the party is on!
Batman is a timeless classic that never loses its appeal. Batman cakes, party decorations, party favors, and party packages are easy to find at party supply stores, online, or department stores. Invitations are easy to make. Just buy black card stock, cut it into a bat shape, use a silver gel pen to invite guests to “Gotham City” to help Batman and Robin fight crime.
Send invitations in advance, at least two weeks in advance, and send out a reminder, including a map with directions to “bat cave,” specifying again the date and time to drop off and pick up the guests. Enlist the help of neighborhood babysitters, teenage siblings, or relatives to help direct Gotham City traffic, and the caped crusaders are sure to be victorious!
Batman Party Games and Activities
Using an inexpensive 36- or 45-inch-wide black fabric such as a double knit fabric, cut simple layers (rectangles that can be tied at the corners) with pinking shears and ask one of your helpers to paint the outlines. of the masks and / or small bats. on the faces of the guests.
Simple games are best for younger children’s parties, and “Follow the Joker” is always a hit. Each child can take a turn to be the leader.
Attach small bat stickers (bats can be cut out of black construction paper and glued with crazy glue, if you can’t find bat stickers) on the lens of inexpensive flashlights (easily found in dollar stores) so that when the room is dark, each kid can send their own Gotham City bat signal!
Using a large sheet of clear or white plastic, paint a black bat in the center and place it in the middle of the floor. Allow each guest to make a plane out of black construction paper, then each has several chances to fly their plane over the bat to win a prize.
A fun and easy game is to pass the bat-ball relay. Guests are divided into teams of five or more. Each team is given a plastic ball, on which Batman stickers have been attached, with painted names of villains, such as Joker, Penguin and Cat Woman. The teams form a line, with the person at the head of the line holding the ball. The first player passes the ball over his head to the person behind him. That person passes it between their legs to the next person, and continues until the person at the beginning of the line is holding the ball again. Prizes can be awarded for the first team to complete the game and all runners-up.
