“If The Dog Believes It, The Audience Believes It!”
Bolt, the Super Dog, always saves the day. As he embarks on a cross-country
journey to save his dear human, Penny, he discovers that life off the set of his
hit TV show is very different… he doesn’t have super powers at all! Will he
still be able to save Penny? Does she even need to be saved? Enjoy Bolt and
these fun activities with your family and friends or save them for the next
birthday party you have to throw. Happy Movie Night!
Movie Snacks
*Serve some copycat movie snacks like “One Stuck Melon” Fruit Salad, Power
Usurping Packing Peanuts (use regular peanuts, your favorite peanut butter
dessert or even Circus peanut candies), or Squeeky Toy Carrot Cake.
*When Bolt and Mittens end up in an RV camp, they beg up quite the meal.
Serve your own RV Park dinner by sharing a mix of everyone’s favorite meals. Let
each person serve their choice to the others, just like they were really sharing
with Bolt and Mittens. Remember to have each person show off their best
Cute-Dog-Begging-For-Dinner Face.
*Bolt, Mittens and Rhino travel across the country by following a map of
waffle house restaurants. Grab the syrup and enjoy some waffles while you watch
the show.
Must Pause Moments
*When the cats come to tease Bolt one of them shows off his evil laugh.
After the perfect demo of an evil chuckle, take turns showing off your best bad
guy laugh and see who would fit in with Calico.
*Bolt knows that the cats and Calico are good at being bad. They know how
to lie and trick people. Play the Two Truths & A Lie game to see if you can
be as sneaky. Each person takes a turn saying 3 things about themselves, two
that are true and one that isn’t and see if people can tell which you made up.
See who ends up the most like Bolt… able to sniff out the most lies!
*When Bolt is learning to act like a regular dog, Mittens has him stick his
head out the car window and feel the air blowing past him. Take a little drive
with the car windows down or pull out a box fan and go for the wind blown
look.
Other Activities
*With Mittens' help, Bolt is making his way from New York to Hollywood. Grab
a map or atlas and let each of your family members pick a spot they would like
to visit if they were on that same road trip. Use a different map and play “Get
Bolt To Hollywood” by blind folding each person and playing a version of “Pin
The Tail On The Donkey.”
*Set up a Bolt-worthy obstacle course for your party goers to try out.
Include a station for each of Bolt’s special talents. “Zoom, zoom” could be a
lap around the backyard on a scooter or on all fours, “Fetch” could be throwing
something into a bucket, hitting a target, or (if working in teams) throwing
something successfully to your partner and “Speak” could be having to blow out a
candle by barking or blowing something off a table. Remember you could things
that Mittens and Rhino are good at as well.
*If you’re looking for something simple for your little ones to do, print
off some of these Bolt pages for them to color.
*Penny always takes a picture of herself and Bolt after he saves the day.
Be sure to take pictures of your Family Movie Night Activities… especially if
you have a Polaroid camera. If not, get the look of a Polaroid picture by using
a photo editing service like PicMonkey to add a Polaroid border to your picture.

minute of my life!”
