However, these are not just any regular party bags, but those filled with items worthy of a true superhero!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few suggestions of things you might want to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A superhero mask<\/li>\n<li>Some themed stickers<\/li>\n<li>Finger lights (to add to your costume)<\/li>\n<li>Superhero puzzle book<\/li>\n<li>A bag of sweets (as a reward for saving the world)<\/li>\n<li>A toy water pistol (to fight crime with)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or if you\u2019re looking for even more ideas then be sure to check out our blog on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thortful.com\/blog\/kids-party-bag-ideas\/\">what to put into party bags for kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Play some superhero party games<\/h2>\n<p>Every party needs some fun activities to keep the kids entertained and allow you to really let go but coming up with themed party games can be difficult. Luckily, we\u2019ve done all the hard work for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Make your own superhero costume<\/h3>\n<p>Like the classic party game, why not add a superhero twist and see what sort of costumes you can create out of just tin foil and toilet paper? This is a great way to get everyone involved and the best part about it is a cost-effective party game that literally only requires two items and your imagination!<\/p>\n<p>Just split up into small groups and see who can work together to create the most fashionable, inventive, or practical costumes!<\/p>\n<h3>Save the parent<\/h3>\n<p>Being a superhero requires agility as well as superintelligence, so what better way to test your abilities than with a real challenge? As part of this party game, tie up a parent to a chair with various pieces of rope &#8211; the aim is to win each mini-game and undo a piece of rope until all have been untied and the parent is saved!<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to come up with your own mini games (depending on space available and what you have to hand):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>See who can last the longest playing the floor is lava<\/li>\n<li>Hold a race and whoever is the fastest wins<\/li>\n<li>Find out who can pop the most balloons in a minute<\/li>\n<li>Solve a riddle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bring out some superhero themed party food<\/h2>\n<p>After all the party games, there\u2019s bound to be some grumbly stomachs so it\u2019s time to sit and down and pig out. While a bunch of hungry mini superheroes running around might seem like a big task, this is the time to really let your creativity shine with each option.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re not a whizz in the kitchen either as we\u2019ve come up with some yummy (yet easy) options:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Captain America pizza<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can never go wrong with pizza at a party, and given how iconic Captain America\u2019s shield is, this is a perfect way to combine the two and stay on theme. All you need to do is carefully place pepperoni (or tomato slices for any veggies) and cheese into the shield\u2019s logo, cut a star shape out of cheese \u2013 then throw it into the oven and grab a slice.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Batman sandwiches<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These sandwiches will look impressive but are actually ridiculously easy to prepare &#8211; all you need to do is purchase a bat-shaped cookie cutter. After that, simply decide on which sandwich fillings you want to go with, make the sandwiches and cut them into shape \u2013 voila, Batman sandwiches!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Hulk punch!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Okay, so we\u2019re kind of pushing it a bit with this one, but we couldn\u2019t pass up on the opportunity to make this reference and you need a refreshing drink to go with your food! To make this beverage, just mix a bit of green food colouring in with some sprite and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Thor\u2019s Hammer sausages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For this one, you\u2019re going to need classic cocktail sausages (a party food classic) and something like pretzel sticks to put them on top. Another super easy and quick party food option fit for a superhero birthday party if we do say so ourselves.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Superman cupcakes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s favourite part &#8211; dessert! Now there really is so much you could do with this, whether that be decorating some biscuits or making some cake pops. However, we\u2019ve decided on Superman cupcakes so get started with your trusted cupcake recipe, add some frosting on top then finish it all off with a Superman cupcake topper.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it, everything you need to know to successfully host a superhero birthday party that will be the talk of the school!<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re looking to get prepared for the next one, what about a pirate theme?
