Temple of Doom Food: Shanghai Chinese Take-Out with an Indy Flair
The Temple of Doom opens in a Shanghai nightclub with a fabulous dance number. But suddenly, mayhem breaks out and Indy finds himself on a perilous journey to India accompanied a knockout nightclub singer and a saucy 11-year-old sidekick.


Pick up Chinese take-out food.

Serve the food in fun containers like the monkey vessels used in the movie's dinner scene or use colorful platters.

Post a menu near the buffet table with thematic titles for the food such as Indy's Snake Lo Mein or Doomed Dim Sum.


Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Party Favors

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was out of this world, literally. Who could have guessed that all the digging around Indy did in his other movies would lead to aliens?


Send guests home with mementos of the party that have an extra-terrestrial touch based on this movie such as:


Green glow products

Aliens in eggs

Aliens in test tubes


Snake Birthday Cake

As brave as he is, Indiana Jones has one big fear: snakes!


For a sweet ending that pays tribute to all the Indiana Jones movies, serve a Snake Birthday Cake.


FamilyFun.com has instructions on how to make the cake in the photo


All you need are some Indiana Jones party supplies and you've got the makings of an awesome birthday party adventure!

Raiders of the Lost Ark Décor: Ancient Temple Party Entrance

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, history and archeology professor Indiana Jones travels the world in search of the lost Ark of the Covenant.

Dangle fake pythons from the ceiling and toss mini plastic snakes on the ground for guests to walk over as they enter the party.


Create a rustic archway or entryway using artificial rock wall panels or rock wallpaper.


Hang green moss, Spanish moss and vines for a "overgrown" look.


Spray paint a large inflatable ball gray to resemble a rock and hang it near the entrance.

Raiders of the Lost Ark Décor: Egyptian Desert Atmosphere

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, history and archeology professor Indiana Jones travels the world in search of the lost Ark of the Covenant.


In one of the greatest opening movie scenes ever, Indiana Jones escapes from an ancient temple as he evades deadly traps and a giant rolling rock. He finds the Ark in a desert tomb and returns it to safe hands.


Use big pillows on the ground for seating.


Place a large plywood rectangle on sturdy plastic crates to use as a low dining table. Make sure the edges are sanded and safe.


Cover the plywood tables with colorful cloths and use exotic scarves as overlays.


Consider setting up seating in a pop-up tent.


Create piles of play sand around the party space.


Scatter faux Egyptian idols or thematic items in the sand.


 
The Last Crusade Activities: Holy Grail Hunt
One of the best parts of The Last Crusade was when the audience found out how Indiana Jones got his name, the scar on his chin, and his fear of snakes! In this movie, Indy and his estranged father join forces to search for the Holy Grail.


Steps
  • Hide the Holy Grail, a golden goblet, in your yard or a secret place at the party.

  • Hide lots of plastic gold coins or foil-covered chocolate coins as well.

  • Pass out goody bags for guests to collect the coins.

  • The person who finds the Holy Grail gets to keep it or wins a big prize.
