the idea
invent your own superhero identity and powers
Have the kid’s create their very own Superhero and decide what super-powers they have using this free download.
the idea
SUPERHERO IDENTITY BADGE
If they’ve come in costume, use this free template to have them create their own identity badge before they start the Superhero party games. Provide clip-on holders so they can wear them or little plastic wallets for them to flash.
the idea
superhero control panel
Let everyone make their own Superhero control panel gadget and decide what each button does (ex, activate force shield, turn invisible, etc) with these instructions by Ellie and Abbie at Bright Eyes + Blue Eyes.
the idea
KRYPTONITE TREASURE HUNT
Paint some rocks green for Kryptonite and hide them, then hold a treasure hunt.

superhero training
Get a parent to dress up as a masked Superhero (using a costume where the kid’s can’t see their face, such as the ones below) and make an entrance halfway through the birthday party when they’re least expecting it to enroll them in Superhero training.

Test those superpowers
Set up an obstacle course to test different abilities. Include things like:
- Precision: Knocking cardboard cut-outs of villains off a wall using these foam Batarangs, available here, or use this Captain America ring toss game, available here.
- X-Ray vision: Giving them a pair of X Ray glasses (below) then have them identify different objects inside bags and boxes just by feeling them (include lots of different textures and gooey, slimy things that kids will love).
- Combat skills: Let them battle it out with a Superhero bop bag and gloves (below left, other designs available). Alternatively, use these Hulk inflatable fists to hit balls / balloons with.
