The beginning was acquiring necessary training. There were 5 stations and the kids were divided into 5 teams. Each started at one station, were there for 5 minutes or so and then rotated: Station 1: LEARN TO DRIVE THE BATMOBILE- I have a battery operated car that I decorated like the Batmobile. Kids got to drive it. Station 2: VISIT THE BATCAVE - set up a tent with weird stuff in it. Could easily have used a pop-up play-hut instead. Station 3: LEARN TO THROW THE BATARANG - I bought batarang favors and made each of the 5 villians standing on a piece of foam board. The kids had to stand behind a line on the floor knock down the figures w/ the batarang.  Station 4: Board breaking - Since Batman was a master of the martial arts, the kids had to be able to break a board with a kick and a punch. I got the styrofoam trays that meat comes packaged on (local grocery gave them to me free). Parent held the "board" and each kid got to break 2 boards.  Station 5: BUILD YOUR OWN GADGET - had a table with legos.
