They could be photographs, artwork, or knickknacks — whatever you want to include. While you make the time capsule, reminisce about your favorite memories over the last year. Alternatively, make time capsule videos. Record interviews on your phones and ask each other questions like:. The act of writing a letter to your future self gives you a way to look back and ahead. How do you feel about the past year?
What are your hopes and aspirations for the year to come? Or buy a journal just for this purpose, and add to it each year. You can also make the letters part of your annual time capsule tradition and read them each year along with the rest of your capsule unveiling. Another fun way to reminisce over the past year is to create a photo slideshow. As the bowl comes to each player, they have to draw a card and answer whatever they pull. Then they pass the bowl to the next player.
All year long, as happy memories happen to them, each family member writes the moment on a slip of paper and puts it in the jar. So pitch a real camping tent in the living room or build an old-fashioned fort with bedsheets. Then pull out the sleeping bags and flashlights. You can eat snacks, play games, watch movies, or even watch the countdown. So pull out your favorite card or board games or grab one you got for Christmas. The family board games that appeal to the broadest range of ages tend to be the classics, like Clue , Life , and Monopoly.
The card games Uno and Skip-Bo also have broad appeal. Minute-it-to-win-it games are fast-paced and fun. Players receive certain tasks, and to win, they have to complete the task before their minute is up. If they succeed, they score a point. Alternatively, you can have players go head-to-head, and the first to complete the task gets the point. You can make the challenges up yourself or find some online. They should be difficult but not impossible. For example, Play Party Plan suggests a confetti pop challenge that involves filling balloons with confetti, sprinkles, or fruity pebbles and then blowing up the balloons.
The player must pop five of the balloons in under a minute using nothing but their hands while wearing heavy winter gloves. For even more ideas, visit Play Party Plan. Turn off the lights, and go wild. For even more fun, adjust the shutter speed on your camera and take pictures. If you slow it down to about four seconds, you can create some really neat light effects by drawing in the air with the glow sticks.
You can even do it on a smartphone. Just do an online search for tutorials for your make and model to discover how to adjust the shutter speed. Just grab a bag of jumbo marshmallows and start tossing. Play with no rules, make up your own rules, or turn it into a game by following dodgeball-like rules: Whoever gets hit is out.
My son is 5 and has yet to make it to midnight. And then, after you put them to bed, you get to do your own thing at the real midnight. You can also make your own ball drop by releasing a cascade of balloons that fall from the ceiling. Start by purchasing an inexpensive shower curtain. Tie a string long enough for a child to reach through one of the shower curtain holes. Blow up a bunch of balloons. Tape the shower curtain to the ceiling with masking tape.
Then fill the shower curtain with the balloons. If you fall in, is that a bad omen for the coming year? Plus, all you need are your guests and some paper!

If you're not willing to risk breaking an actual disco ball, use a balloon for this game instead. Instruct your party guests to form a circle. Give the ball to someone and have them turn to face one of the people on either side of them.
The goal of the game is to pass the ball around the circle without using their hands to do so. Once the first person has successfully passed off the ball to their partner, participants continue passing the ball around the circle until it reaches the original starting point.
