SpongeBob SquarePants Party Ideas - Guest Blogger Lisa Kothari

For all those kids who want to take a swim at Bikini Bottom, a great party theme would be, of course, SpongeBob SquarePants and Buddies! If it is an all-time favorite for your kids, have a look at the ideas below for this truly fun party

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.
• To decorate your table use a yellow plastic tablecloth with red plates and cups.  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 leis 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 SpongeBob 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!
• Hold 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!

For your party menu:

• 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 Kebabs, pineapple for SpongeBob and pink fruits, like strawberries, for Patrick.
• Make Blue gelatin 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.
