Super Mario Brothers movie Party ideas
The new Super Mario movie was definitely entertaining and enjoyable for both kids and adults alike. The animation was top-notch and the storyline was engaging. It was especially nostalgic with the appearance of Donkey Kong. As a parent, I appreciated the positive message of teamwork and friendship that the movie promoted. It was also heartwarming to see how the bond between the Mario brothers was portrayed on the screen. However, there were some moments of mild violence and peril that may be too intense for very young children.
Here are some ideas for a Super Mario brother party:
1. Super Mario-themed pizza: Have the kids create their own personalized mini-pizzas with toppings that are reminiscent of the Mushroom Kingdom, such as green peppers for Luigi, extra cheese for Mario, etc.
2. Decoding Bowser's message: Create a scavenger hunt where kids must decipher a coded message from Bowser to locate the hidden prize. The message could be written in symbols or characters from the Super Mario universe. You can also get activity books like this one which has a decodable message page (pictured below), stickers, mazes, and more. If you're looking for even more affordable options this activity book is under $5!
3. Pin the Mustache on Mario game: A fun twist on the classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey game, where kids take turns trying to pin a mustache on the Mario character poster while blindfolded. You can buy this pin the mustache & M game which also serves as a decorative poster and it comes with everything you need including the blindfold. There are other Mario- themed games such as this Monopoly Jr. version, Game of Life version, and Jenga version.
4. Party hats & dress up: Have the kids make their own party hats with red, green, and white construction paper, resembling the hats worn by the characters in the game. Here are some hats & blowouts and felt masks you can purchase for the festivities. This 80 piece favor packet even has the masks included!
5. Jam session: Sing and dance to Mario tunes including the new song “Peaches.”
Overall, with a creative mindset, planning a Super Mario-themed party can be a blast that both kids and adults can enjoy!
