Paint Misbehavin'

Time for another Mario Party mini game party game! (What a mouthful!)

In this particular game each team gathers up Goombas and dips them in their team's paint color. Whichever team paints the most Goombas wins.

If you're not having a Mario Party theme, think about changing this game to fit your own theme. I think this would be a great Alice in Wonderland game - Painting the Roses Red! Instead of painting them different colors you could have them already be different colors and see who can paint all their roses red first.

Below is a video of the original mini game, Paint Misbehavin' followed by a how-to on the party game version.



Now the Paint Misbehavin' party game -

When I thought about making goombas the first thing that popped into my mind was gumdrops. See the resemblence?

The first step in turning the gumdrops into goombas was to paint them brown. It took two coats and yes it was sticky.

Next I added on the whites of the eyes and the teeth (fangs?)

Then eyebrows and mouths were added. This was a bit of a tedious process but so worth it when I saw the look on the birthday boys' faces.

Toothpicks were stuck low on the back of the finished goombas so the children won't get paint on themselves.

These goombas will be scattered in a sectioned off area of the yard. In each corner of the area will be a plastic bowl of paint with an empty egg carton next to it. The first team to fill their egg carton with painted goombas wins the game.
