1. Invite your guests to your Spiderman birthday party with colorful theme invitations. Or create your own using bright red (or black) construction paper or cardstock. Fold the paper in half, write, "Swing on over to ______'s (your child's name) birthday party!" and then attach cobwebs and fake spiders to the outside. Include all the party details on the inside.
2. Greet your guests at the door with a 5' Scene Setter. Place an Amazing Birthday Banner in your entryway. Around your party room, place eye-catching 5' Super Hero add-ons as well as City Scapes to create the perfect setting.
3. Hang Spiderman 12" balloons and danglers from the ceiling. Add red and black balloons and use similar colors of crepe paper to create "webs" around the room. Or buy cobwebs and plastic spiders to hang in the four corners of the room.
4. Use a bright red tablecover for your party table and be sure to have themed plates, cups, bowls and napkins ready! Use a colorful character candle for the birthday cake and a character (or spider) Pinata as a centerpiece.
5. Dress your child in a Spiderman costume for his or her birthday party! Costumes are available in various sizes and come in black and red (including glow, fiberoptic and comic costumes). If your child doesn't want to wear the full costume, he or she may opt for Gloves and/or Boot Tops.
6. As your guests arrive, you can hand each one a Blowout, a Paper Mask or a Spider Ring.
7. "Spiderman, Spiderman, We Need Help!" (Number of Players: 5 or more) One person is chosen to be "It" (he or she can even put on the costume, gloves, or boot tops) and he/she goes out of the room. The rest of the group then holds hands in a circle (standing up). After that, they can step over, go under, and twist each other's arms--anything they can think of to created a web for the person who is "It" to figure out. The only rule is that they can't let go of each other's hands.
When they're done getting twisted up, the group yells, "Spiderman! Spiderman! We Need Help!" Then the person who is "It" comes out and tries to untangle the group by telling them what to do, such as where to step, which way to twist, etc. Once again, the participants cannot let go each other's hands. If he/she can get them untangled, he wins. But if he can't get them untangled, then the group wins. Different people can take turns being "It" for other rounds.
8. "Black Magic" (Number of Players: 3 or more) This is a game where there's a secret. Two people have to be in on the secret for the game to work. One of the two people goes out of the room, and one stays in. The person in the room helps the group decide on an object. Then the other person comes back into the room and tries to guess what object was chosen.
The person who remained in the room, let's call her "Jo", points to different things around the room, and says, "Is this it?" Then the "seeker", let's call her Sally, either says "yes" or "no". The object can be anything, even a zipper or something discreet like that. The object of the game is for the other members of the group to figure out how Sally is guessing it, so don't tell the secret to the group.
The secret is: Sally knows what the chosen object is because Jo points to a BLACK object before she points to the chosen object, thus the name, "Black Magic".
9. Pinata time! Use your Spiderman (or spider) pinata centerpiece--having previously filled it with Spider Rings, Punch Balls, character Tattoos, character Stickers, Mini Dots and an assortment of red and black (or your child's favorite) candies. Use a Pinata Bat and Blindfold and let each child have three hits until the pinata breaks. Be sure to have loot bags on hand!
10. After your party ends, use Spiderman Thank You notes to send or deliver to your guests. You may want to include an additionalparty favor (such as stickers or mini dots) in each one.
