Sponge Bob Birthday Party Theme

Decorations
Fill blue helium balloons and let them “float” on the ceiling. Tie white curling ribbon on the bottom and let it hang down - looks like you are under the sea.

Pineapple cutouts, fish nets, shells.

Place blue tablecloths down with sand and shells scattered on top.

Games
Mystery Fishing

Kids fish for prizes in this fun game!　 For the "water" use a large appliance box, hang a sheet across a doorway, or
cover a table so that the "fish" (and the person in the water) are hidden from view. Tie a string to a stick and attach a clothespin on the end of the string.　 Birthday party guests take turns "casting" the line into the "water". The person in
the "water" puts small gifts, favors or candy on the clothespin and then tugs the string to signal that there is a "fish"
on the line.　 Then kids pull up the line and retrieve their prize.　 This is a simple but fantastic birthday party game
that kids adore!　 Have lots of prizes because kids will　want to do this carnival game again and again.　

Sponge Bob Jellyfish Toss Game
On heavy cardboard (or a good size box) draw several jellyfish. Cut holes about 4” round under the jellyfish and assign
a point score to each hole. Cut up yellow sponges in ¼’s or ½’s and let guests take turns trying to throw the sponges
into the jellyfish holes for points. Guest with the biggest point score after 3 throws wins a prize.

Jellyfish Hunt
Buy or make several pink and purple beanbags, or use small cloth balls. Hide them in the house or in the yard and let
 kids go on a jellyfish hunt. You can send them out together to search for the items, or one at a time.

Variation: Buy several small prizes and number them. On the bottom of the bean bags write a number that corresponds
 to one of the prizes. When they find a bean bag they can then claim the prize with the number on their beanbag.

Pineapple or Sponge Bob Pinata
Let the kids decorate lunch sacks before the pinata is broken to hold their loot.

Pin the Pants on Sponge Bob
Buy a large Sponge Bob poster and then trace his pants. Cut out several pair of pants - one for each child - and place
tape on the back. Blindfold the children one at a time and let them try and stick Sponge Bobs pants on the poster.
Nearest to the original pants wins a prize.

Activities
