Born in 2015: fun facts, prices and a free printable 11th birthday party kit
Turning 11 in 2026? Here is their birth year, from a Pluto flyby to Hamilton on Broadway, plus a free printable party kit.
In 2015 NASA's New Horizons flew past Pluto, Dawn reached Ceres and the US women won the World Cup.

How do you throw a 2015-themed 11th birthday party?

Build the 2015 playlist
Start with the year's best-selling digital songs: "Uptown Funk," "Thinking Out Loud," "See You Again," "Hello," "Sugar" and "Shut Up and Dance." Add the dance hit "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" and ask each guest to bring one more.
Mission control for Pluto
Hang a paper solar system and a heart-shaped Pluto, then give each guest a job: flight director, camera operator or signal watcher. Count down to a flyby when the cake comes out.
A mini World Cup
Set up cones in the yard and run a penalty shootout. Anyone who scores three in a row earns a paper medal and the title of hat-trick hero.
Feelings charades
Write the five feelings from Inside Out on cards: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. Teams act them out without words, one scene at a time.
Dino dig
Bury plastic dinosaurs in a tub of sand or rice and hand out brushes and spoons. Whoever digs up the most fossils wins, and every guest keeps one.
Splat target wall
Splatoon launched in 2015, so hang a sheet and toss damp sponges at paper targets. Keep the game outdoors or lay down a drop cloth first.
Rolling droid race
The Force Awakens introduced BB-8, so cover a ball in white paper and race it down a track of tape lines. Guests steer by gently tapping with a pool noodle.
Sing-along stage
Turn the living room into a theater with a curtain, a stool for the host and a microphone made from a paper roll. Take turns performing a favorite song from a show or movie.
Baby photos beside the headlines
Pin up 2015 baby pictures next to headlines from the year, such as Pluto, the World Cup and Hamilton. Add recent photos so guests can see how much has changed.
Guess the 2015 price
Write a gallon of milk, a stamp and a dozen eggs on index cards and have guests guess each 2015 price. The prices table above holds the answers, so the closest guess wins.
Which invitations and cards fit an 11th birthday?
