Happy 10th Birthday, SpongeBob Squarepants! Always a favorite theme for kids’ parties!
For all those kids who want to take a swim at Bikini Bottom…a great theme would be, of course, SpongeBob Squarepants! If it is an all-time favorite for your kids, have a look at the ideas below for this truly fun party!
Check out the SpongeBob SquarePants Party Supplies on Celebrate Express to make your party planning easy!
Decorations:
Use colorful construction paper, and cut out lots of different fish and place all over your party area walls…to make it look like Bikini Bottom Town’s Folk.
Cut out flowers as well and hang them too, they will look like the background of the show.
Make your own SpongeBob using large sheets of construction paper…hang him at the front entrance of your party, with a sign beside him greeting your guests as they enter the party.
Also, at the front entrance, hang streamers in different shades of blue so that the kids can enter through this area and feel like they are going into the sea.
Hang “sea nets” over different areas of your furniture, i.e. your TV, and place little sea creatures inside, i.e. bath toys.
Hang pink balloons with purple dots on them. Attach pink ribbon to the ends of the balloon and hang these from the ceiling for Jellyfish.
Using any colors you like, decorate your table, yellow plastic tablecloth with red plates and cups, etc. For added decorations, sprinkle mini-shells and sea confetti all over the table. If you have a large SpongeBob stuffed animal, place it in the middle of your party table for a centerpiece.
Blow up green, blue, and pearly white balloons and place on the ground so it looks like a sea of color for the kids to “swim” through.
Activities:
As the kids enter, place a lei around their necks welcoming them to Bikini Bottom.
Have an episode of SpongeBob on that they can watch or listen to as they draw or color SpongeBob sheets.
Play SponeBob Says, like Simon Says.
Play Laugh Like Patrick, Walk like Mr. Krabs, and Do Karate like Sandy.
Play “Pin the Pants on SpongeBob.”
Play “Pass the Sponge.” Whoever is holding it when the music stops is out!
Play “Mr. Krabs Tug of Money.” Just like Tug of War, but the loot is a dollar bill hanging in the middle.
Play “Wipe Out.” Have the kids pretend like they are on a surfboard surfing to music. When you yell, “Wipe Out” have the kids fall to the floor!
Have a bubble blowing contest, seeing if the kids can blow them exactly like SpongeBob himself!
Play “Squidward May I?” as you would play “Mother May I?”
Enjoy a Sponge Toss
Blow up pink and purple balloons and call them jellyfish. Begin playing music, and have the kids toss them back and forth to one another. When the music stops, the kids holding the balloons are stung!
Menu Options May Include:
Serve Plankton Planks, i.e. Hot Dogs and Crabby Patties, i.e. Hamburgers
Squidward Snacks, i.e. Cheese Puffs
Snail Mix, i.e. Chex Mix
Bikini Bottom Brew, i.e. Kool Aid
Krusty Krab Pizza
Sqidward Subs
Sandy Candy Nuts
Fruit Kababs, pineapple for SpongeBob and pink fruits, like strawberries, for Patrick.
Make Blue Jell-O and add Swedish Fish…cut into star shapes as an additional treat.
Goody Bags:
Use red fish netting, and place the goodies inside, including mini-bubbles, stickers, gummy fish and sharks, seashells, soft bath toys, etc. Depending on age will determine what you choose. Or choose these cute favor boxes.
