Incredible Hulk

Games:

• Green Monster Tag - Let the birthday child start out as The Incredible Hulk. For fun, dress him or her in a green shirt, monster wig or other Hulk-related accessory! To begin the game all players stand around The Incredible Hulk with their arms outstretched, touching some part of him with their hands. They all chant, “His skin is green and man, he’s mean!” Then, at an unpredictable speed—the point is to trick the players—The Hulk chants back, “I’m big and bad, and now...I’m mad!” At the sound of the word “mad” (but not before) all the players run away while The Hulk begins chasing them. If The Hulk tags a player, that player becomes frozen. The only way a frozen player can be freed is for an untagged player to crawl under the frozen player’s legs. Note: Players are safe when crawling under someone else. The game continues until everyone is frozen. Play again with a different child as The Incredible Hulk!
• Hulk for a Day - Draw a large picture of The Hulk on a big piece of cardboard, and cut out a hole for the face. Let each child hold the poster up to his or her face and make their best Hulk expression while you take a picture. For fun, paint the children’s faces green with face paint. Mail the developed or digital photos to guests later, or take instant snapshots for memorable party favors!
• Feed The Hulk - Using The Hulk picture from the last activity as a target, have a bean bag tossing contest! Place the target about 10 feet away, and give each child a chance to toss some bean bags through the hole.
• Monster Muscles - Your guests will grow muscles instantly, just like The Incredible Hulk! To prepare for this game, inflate 50 to 100 small green balloons before the party. When it’s time to play, divide your guests into two teams. Select one child on each team to be Bruce Banner, the scientist who transforms into a green-skinned monster when he’s angry or under extreme stress. Gather teams on opposite sides of the room and divide the balloons equally between them. Dress each team’s Bruce in a union suit (one-piece long underwear) over their clothes. When you say "GO," both teams must turn their Bruce into The Incredible Hulk by stuffing as many balloons as possible into the union suits. Give the teams one minute to do this. When time is up, let everyone admire each team’s quickly transformed Hulk! Then remove and count the balloons. The team that uses the most balloons, wins!

Activities:

• Theme-Related Field Trip - For a special birthday treat, take the kids to see The Hulk movie inspired by The Incredible Hulk comic book character published by Marvel Comics.
• Make a Face!  - Although The Incredible Hulk is known for his mean expressions and angry, intimidating looks, it will be hard for your guests to play this game without laughing! Seat your guests in a circle, facing outward, and let the birthday child go first. To begin, he or she turns to the child on the left and makes an intimidating face. The second child turns to the next person and tries to make the same face, and so on around the circle. The game continues until the last person has seen the expression. Then, the last person and first person stand and make the face together. Chances are they will be different, but everyone will get a good laugh!
