SpongeBob Squarepants Birthday Party!


SpongeBob Squared

(click here for a birthday supply checklist)

Invitations:

  • Use the great invitations in Birthday Express' package!

Games:

  • Play Spongebob UNO game. The SpongeBob SquarePants edition of UNO features the amazing Super Absorbency Rule, allowing you to force your neighbor with the least amount of cards to "absorb" one card from the player to his or her right, one from the player to his or her left and one more card from the deck.
  • If weather permits, play squirt gun games. Try to knock down plastic cups arranged in a pyramid using squirt guns. See how many squirts it takes to knock a cup over.
  • This game, inspired by SpongeBob's underwater world of fishy friends, is based on the traditional "Duck, Duck, Goose" game. Instead of a goose chasing a duck, a shark chases a fish. Gather all your little fishies and seat them in a circle. To start, designate a "Fish" to walk around the circle, tapping each guest on the head and calling each a fish. After several guests have been tapped, the "Fish" chooses one guest and yells out "Shark" when tapping him or her on the head. The Shark chases the Fish and tries to tag her as she races around the circle and back to the Shark’s spot. Repeat the game until each guest has had a chance to be the Shark. (See Birthday Express for more ideas like this)
  • Treasure Hunt: hide small toys like sunglasses, shells, rubber balls, etc., in several plastic tubs filled with sand. Let each child fish out a toy, and then give another child a turn. Or, give each guest her own pail with sand and toys and have a treasure hunt race.
  • Beach Ball Bongo: blow up dime store beach balls and you can play endless games. Using one ball, throw it in the air and have all the kids try to keep it in the air (count the number of hits before it drops to the ground). Break up into teams and create a relay race with the beach balls. The relay can be as simple as carrying the ball from point A to point B, or running with the ball between your knees, or hitting the ball with a straw back and forth. Let your imagination run wild!

Activities:

  • Learn to draw Spongebob Squarepants - visit this fan site for directions (you may want to turn off pop-ups before visiting).
  • Make your own homemade bubbles; let all the kids blow bubbles and have a contest for the biggest bubble, the one that lasts the longest, flies the farthest, etc.
  • Buy each guest a Tshirt, and let them "sponge" paint designs on them!
  • If time and budget allows, take the guests to a local aquarium and check out all of Spongebob Squarepants friends! The Monterey Bay Aquarium website has TONS of activities that are water-wildlife related, so check it out! Coloring Pages, Sea Otter Puppets, Lanternfish Sticks, and more.
