  • A creature hunt

    Hide paper creatures around the yard or the house and give each guest a checklist. Pokémon GO launched on July 6, 2016, so the hunt suits the year. Finders keep one creature as a party favor.

  • Mini Olympics

    Rio hosted the 2016 Games, so set up a relay, a beanbag toss and a balance beam made from masking tape on the floor. Hand out paper medals at the end.

  • Space-mission sample return

    OSIRIS-REx collected a sample from the asteroid Bennu, so bury pebbles in a tray of flour or rice and let guests collect samples with a spoon. The team that gathers the most wins a mission patch sticker.

  • Dance to the 2016 hits

    Build a playlist around "Love Yourself," "One Dance," "Can't Stop the Feeling!," "Cheap Thrills" and "7 Years," all in the top 12 of Billboard's 2016 Year-End Hot 100. Add a freeze-dance round.

  • Movie matinee

    Pick a film from the year: Finding Dory, Zootopia, The Secret Life of Pets, Moana or Sing. Pass out popcorn cups and let guests vote on the pick when they arrive.

  • Sing-along stage

    Sing was a 2016 release, so set up a pretend theater with a bedsheet curtain and a toy microphone. Every guest gets one song, and the audience holds up score cards.

  • Backyard baseball

    Play one inning with a soft ball and a plastic bat. When it is tied, go to extra innings, the way the Cubs and the Indians did in Game 7.

  • Playground party

    The swing joined the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2016, so hold the party at a park with swings. Bring cupcakes and let the guest of honor go first.

  • Baby photos beside the headlines

    Pin up baby pictures from 2016 next to the year's moments: Juno at Jupiter, the Rio medals and the Cubs trophy. Add recent snapshots so guests can see the changes.

  • Guess the price

    Write a gallon of milk, a stamp and a gallon of gas on cards and let guests guess each 2016 price. The prices section above has the answers.
