Your group can take advantage of all the minion mayhem by planning a fun Family Movie Night at school. Heck, as long as you can get your hands on some googly eyes and something yellow to serve (bananas, anyone?), you’re golden. Just check out these super fun Minions-theme movie night ideas that’ll get families pumped to attend—and then be sure to download our free movie night planning kit.

And we’re not done with those googly eyes just yet. Stick ’em on pudding snacks... via I Can Teach My Child 4....and applesauce cups. via As the Bunny Hops 5.

Kids will go bananas for this healthy treat (also the snack choice of minions everywhere!). via Me Sew Crazy 7.

Before the movie starts, keep little fingers busy with this one-eyed pom pom craft... via Pinterest user Jen Rhoades 12....or this stick puppet craft that moonlights as a bookmark. via Living Well Mom 13. End the night with a friendly game of “Pin the Goggles on the Minion.” via Tidbits and Twine 14. The door to the gym (or caf) never looked so...dare we say...polished? via Pinterest user Ben 15. Families won't know the minions are about to invade unless you give them a proper heads up. Promote your upcoming event with this fun Facebook graphic and flyer, part of our free Family Movie Night planning kit! It pretty much does all the work for you—which is sort of like having your group's very own minion, right?
