Batman Game Ideas To Compliment Your Batman Or Superhero Party!

Create a fun-filled Batman birthday party by turning your home into the Bat Cave. Here's some dynamite game ideas with a Batman flavor to consider:


BATMAN BIRTHDAY PARTY GAME IDEAS & ACTIVITIES

BATMAN GAME - BAT PLANES - Provide the kids with black construction paper, Batman stickers, glitter, and gel pens. Have the kids make paper airplanes and decorate them. Be sure they all put their names on their plane as they are going to use them for a game.

BATMAN GAME - BATMAN TO THE RESCUE - Make a large Bat Signal on a piece of butcher paper, cardstock, or cardboard and place it in the yard. Have all your Cape Crusaders line up with their bat planes and when you say, "Batman To The Rescue," everyone "flys" their planes and tries to land them in the center of the Bat Signal. Whoever is the closest wins.

Variation: - Construct a "Bat Cave" out of a large cardboard box and paint it black. Have everyone try to fly their plane into the Bat Cave.

BATMAN GAME - PASS THE BAT - Divide your Cape Crusaders into two teams and line them up. While playing some fun Batman music in the background, give the first person of each team a rubber bat. When you say, "Batman To The Rescue," the first person of each team will pass their bat over his/her head to their next teammate. That person will then pass the bat between his/her legs to their next teammate in line. This passing sequence continues (going over, under, over, under) until the bat is delivered to the last player in line. The bat is then sent back to the first teammate who started the game in the over, under fashion. The first team to pass the bat from front to back and back again is the winner.

BATMAN GAME - NAB THOSE VILLIANS - Download pictures of Batman's arch enemies, The Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, etc. Try to cut them to all be the approximate same size. Tape one to the back of each of your guests. When you say, "Batman To The Rescue," everyone tries to gather as many "villians" from the backs of others. Whoever gathers the most villians wins.

Variations: - Make this be a timed event and only allow 1-2 minutes to gather the villians.

Make this be a Batman game that is an ice breaker activity and tape a villian on everyone's back as they arrive and have the gathering of the villians be an ongoing event throughout the party or a portion of the party. Everyone will have to try and protect their villian and whenever someone obtains a villian off of someone's back, they must have a parent tape that villian to their back. This will make for a sweet-swiping of villians for someone who might be able to obtain 2, 3, 4, etc. at one time!

BATMAN GAME - BATMAN SENSORY TESTS - Prior to the party, tape record various sounds and be sure to allow "dead space" between the sounds, so you have time to turn the tape recorder on and off. Tape a variety of sounds like a car horn, bicycle bell, train moving, semi-truck horn, weed wacker, chain saw, lawn mower, microwave, etc. Be sure to write down in order what the various sounds are, so you have the answers when it comes time to tally the kids' results.

Prior to the party, download pictures of various teenie-tiny to extra-large sized items. Things like a key chain, tissue box, cup, paperclip, clock, remote, toothbrush, etc. At game time, you will quickly flash everyone one picture at a time and they will attempt to identify and write down what they think they saw. Once again, be sure to keep track of the order of the items that you flash.

Prior to the party, gather various foods to feed the kids simultaneously while they are all blindfolded. It is best to have a few helpers to keep this portion of the game going, as they will need to "feed" each item to the child. After everyone eats a particular item, they may remove their blindfold and write down what they think they just consumed. Repeat this process until you get through all of the foods. Try to select items the kids can't figure out right away. Smash up foods like grapes, strawberries, and kiwi to make it harder to identify. Baby food is always a yucky, but fun option. Cold scrambled eggs, crushed cereals, finely minced hotdog, etc. are other items you might consider.

For each of these Batman game "tests," give all the kids paper and pencils to write down their answers. Whoever has the most correct answers, is the winner.

BATMAN GAME - WRAP THE MUMMY - Divide the kids into teams and provide each team with two rolls of toilet paper. Let teams decide who they will mummify and have teams race against one another. Take pictures, unwrap and play again until everyone has been mummified.

BATMAN GAME - BATMAN BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR AN OBSTACLE COURSE - Batman and Robin always get themselves into situations where they encounter many obstacles along the way. Divide the kids into two teams and create two identical obstacle courses. On "Go," the first player of each team starts to run the course. As one teammate completes an item, their next teammate may start that item. Whichever team completes all of the obstacle course and gets through all of their teammates first wins. Select from the following Batman party ideas to create your course:

Box Hop - Lay a row of six cardboard boxes out on the ground that are large enough to accommodate the kid's feet with some room to spare. The players must then jump from one box to the next.

Ladder Run - Lay a wooden ladder flat on the ground and have the kids run through each rung of the ladder.

Frisbee Toss - Place a clean trash can 10" from the throw line. The kids must toss a frisbee into the can. Once this is accomplished, they move on. If they miss, they must keep trying until they throw one in. Be sure to have lots of extras.

Balance Beam - Lay an 8' long 2" x 4" board on the grass. The kids must walk across the beam as fast as they are able without falling off, as it would be like falling off a building.

Hula Hoop Run - Lay out 5-8 hula hoops and place them in a straight line. A child then steps into each hoop and lifts it over their head, and then drops it down behind them as they move forward. A helper should be posted at this station to straighten the hoops out after each child goes through them.

Jump Rope - Each child must jump rope 10 or 15 times before moving to the next station.

Water Balloon Balance - Players must balance a small black water balloon on a spoon to the designated finish line for this station. If it drops and doesn't break, they are free to pick it up and place it back on their spoon. If it breaks, they must return to the starting line of this event and get another balloon.

Bat Run - Provide child with two pieces of cardstock that are shaped like bats and have them walk from the start line to the finish line for this event by only walking on the two bats. This means they must place a bat on the ground, step on it, place another bat down ahead of them, step on it, pick up the first bat, and continue the process until they reach the finish line for that station.

Balloon Table - Blow up enough black balloons to completely cover a 3" x 6" table (about 100 balloons). Tie several balloons to one another using string, twine, or yarn. Secure strips of balloons to the table top, sides, and underneath with heavy tape. Wrap the legs with foam padding. The balloons will swing and bump as the kids crawl through them.

Crab Walk - Conclude the course with this event. Kids sit on the grass, bend their knees, lean back on their hands with straight arms, and proceed to "walk" as fast as they can to the finish line.

PRINTABLE GAMES - Here's a great site for some fun print and play toddler party games that would be a perfect party game add-on!
