Movie Snacks
*Gru and Vector both want the Shrink Ray… so serve up a meal full of all
your favorite food cooked up Shrink Ray Style! Have sliders instead of full size
burgers, mini muffins, corn dog bites, mini pizzas, popcorn chicken or any other
small, bite size food. Serve up your drinks in test tubes or beakers and you’ve
got a meal that Gru and Vector would both agree was extra fun!
*Have a variety of tasty treats to serve during this show like ice cream
cones, in honor of the boy at the beginning that is crying over his. Also have
juice boxes like Edith, Cheetos (or Caterpillars that never turned into
butterflies) like Agnes, and cookies like the ones the girl’s sell around the
neighborhood.
*Grab a box of Twinkies or Zingers and make your own Minions Munchies! You
could even let your family decorate them in fruit roll-up overalls and icing
eyes.
Must Pause Moments
*Gru makes a balloon animal for a little boy then pops it. Play along with
the movie and make some balloon animals with your family and then try to avoid
having your creation get popped by Gru (or anyone else in your family.)
*When Gru and a couple minions are trying to sneak in and get the Shrink
Ray, they use one of the minions like a glow stick. Pass out glow sticks to each
of your family members or guests and let the glowing begin!
*The girl’s draw themselves at the bottom of the family tree displayed on
Gru’s wall. Get some butcher paper or a poster board and draw your own family
tree and display it on your own wall.
Other Activities
*Dress up like the different characters in this fun movie. Here are some
things to remember for each character. Gru: black zip up jacket, black pants,
black and grey scarf Minions: Yellow face paint, overalls, goggles Margo:
Skirt, glasses, jacket, red high tops Edith: Pink hat & sweater, white
boots Agnes: Overalls, striped shirt, ponytail sticking straight up.
*When the minions can’t find a Unicorn toy for Agnes, they bring her one they made from a scrubber brush. Grab some scrub brushes and other random
household goods and see what kind of creatures you and your family can come up
with.
*The girls talk Gru into taking them to an amusement park. To join in the
fun, you could have face painting and carnival games set up for your family to
play. You might even want to have cotton candy for everyone.
*It takes some time, but Gru finally gets used to reading the girls a
bedtime story and even ends up making his own storybook to share with them. Grab
some craft supplies and make your own family storybook. Write and illustrate one
of your favorite family adventures. Be sure to read it at bedtime to your kids
tonight.
