Queue up "Blinding Lights," "Dance Monkey," "Don't Start Now" and "Watermelon Sugar," then pause the music without warning. Anyone caught moving sits down, and whoever stays frozen longest gets a paper crown.
A Perseverance rover course
Lay out pillows, tape lines and a cardboard "crater" for a rover obstacle course. At the finish, each driver drops a pebble "sample" into a jar.
Crew Dragon countdown
Build a cardboard capsule big enough for two and count down from ten. Behnken and Hurley's May 30 launch from Florida is the model, so give each crew a hand-drawn mission patch.
Sidewalk chalk gallery
On November 5, 2020, sidewalk chalk entered the National Toy Hall of Fame. Set out a bucket on the driveway and let everyone draw a giant birthday scene for the guest of honor.
Two planets meet
Jupiter and Saturn drew a tenth of a degree apart on December 21. Give pairs of kids two paper planets and have them inch closer and closer every time the music stops.
Dig for a Bennu sample
Hide smooth pebbles in a tub of sand or dry rice and let kids scoop a sample like OSIRIS-REx at Bennu. The biggest scoop wins a sticker.
Deserted-island table
Borrow the Animal Crossing look with paper palm trees, a pretend fishing pond and handmade leaf cards for each guest. Serve snacks on a "supply raft" tray.
Movie hour with a snack bar
Pick a 2020 favorite such as Onward or Soul and give each guest a homemade ticket. A popcorn stand with paper cones completes the theater.
Baby photos beside the headlines
Hang newborn pictures from 2020 beside news cards about the Crew Dragon launch, the Lakers and the Great Conjunction. Mix in recent snapshots to show how much has changed since.
Guess the 2020 price
Put a stamp, a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs on separate cards, then let guests guess what each cost in 2020. The prices table has the real numbers.
