4. Play some Spongebob trivia
You and your guests are probably major Spongebob fans with a ton of knowledge about the show. If you also have a competitive streak, then take advantage of this with a super fun activity: Spongebob-themed trivia!
Trivial Pursuit makes a deck of 600 questions about Spongebob Squarepants that has the potential for hours of fun at your party. This is by far one of our favorite Spongebob party ideas because it’ll get everyone in attendance engaged and having a blast.
5. Pin the tie on Spongebob
Wonderful DIY suggests an alternative to the classic “pin the tail on the donkey” party game: pin the tie on Spongebob! All you need for this is a large poster/print-out of Spongebob sans tie and a bunch of cut-outs of his well-known red tie with a pin attached to it.
6. Homemade jellyfish decor
Colorful jellyfish make up a notable part of the Spongebob aesthetic (you’ll often see them on title cards, for example). That’s why Nickelodeon Parents’ idea to include DIY jellyfish decor at your gathering is an awesome Spongebob party idea!
Here’s their guide on how to make the jellyfish out of paper bowls and a few other easy-to-locate materials. Plus, how cool would these look hanging in a venue like this vibrant and eclectic Victorian home in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi?
7. Have a Spongebob cake
As we mentioned before, food is one of the most important elements of a party. Not only that, but the cake at a party is frequently its grand centerpiece. That’s why a Spongebob-shaped cake will be a necessity for many!
You can have this made at a bakery, but if you enjoy baking and decorating cakes, you can also choose to make this one yourself. There are lots of recipes for making Spongebob cakes out there, but we’re especially big fans of this video guide from YouTuber Chelsweets.
8. Bubble-blowing contest
Queen of Theme Party Games suggests a bubble-blowing competition for a Spongebob party, in honor of Spongebob’s obsession with blowing bubbles. “Give each child a bubble wand and some bubble solution. Have the children take turns trying to blow the biggest bubble, the smallest bubble and have a competition to see who can catch the most bubbles on their wand without popping them. The winner of each category takes home a small prize.”
Easy, affordable, and so much fun!
9. Include a Spongebob-themed crafting activity
We’ve already mentioned several DIY crafts that’ll work as excellent decor for your party. However, what about having some kind of Spongebob-related craft at the party itself to get guests involved in a hands-on way? You’ll find tons of options online, like this list of 10 fun Spongebob Squarepants craft activities from Bright Star Kids.
