After you set the date, send the invitations and buy the decorations for a Spiderman party at home it is time to plan party games. Give your guests a mix of challenging and easy games that feature the web-spinning superhero and his arachnid namesake. Spiderman champions goodness over evil so remind kids that sportsmanship is the number one rule. - Prepare the Spiderman relay by buying capes at a costume shop or making them yourself. Cut an adult size t-shirt straight up the front, then stop at the neckline--so the shirt can be slipped over a child's head. Set up two side-by-side tunnels--collapsible fabric play tubes or low tables covered with sheets. At the end of each tunnel, set a can of silly string and ask an adult or older child to stand between the tunnels as a "bad guy."
Tell the players to shoot the "bad guy" with the silly string and run to the "Spidey-Hut"--a pop-up tent or a homemade hut fashioned with chairs and a sheet. Place pictures of "bad guys" in the hut. Have the kids capture a "bad guy" from the hut by grabbing a picture and returning through the course with it. When the hero returns with the "bad guy", he takes off his cape and gives it to the next player in line and the relay resumes until all have had a turn. - Draw a silver spider web on a poster-size sheet of black card stock, using a silver permanent marker. Print and cut-out enough pictures of Spiderman to give to each child. The Cartoon Coloring Pages web-site has free downloadable Spiderman pictures to color. Place a loop of masking tape on the back of each child's Spiderman picture. Loosely tie a bandanna around the first player's eyes and gently spin her twice, then let her carry the picture to the web and try to stick it in the center. After all have had a turn, the child who placed the Spiderman picture closest to the center is the winner.
- Fill a jar with the plastic spiders found in novelty stores and let kids guess the number of spiders in the jar. The closest guess wins. Substitute plastic spider rings, which are plentiful in discount and dollar stores around Halloween, if you have trouble finding plastic spiders.
Play another plastic spider, or spider ring, game with an empty jar set 1 foot from the end of a table. Give the children one minute to toss as many spiders, or rings, as possible into the jar. The winner is the one with the most spiders in the jar before time is up
