Are you having people over for the holidays or for
a New Year's Eve celebration? Or are you going somewhere to celebrate
either of those occasions? If so, this Time Capsule activity is for
you! Bring a bit of "Awwwww, cute!" to the party along with an
appetizer or dessert and you'll be the hit of the night!!
Each year we have everyone over to our house for Christmas
Eve. We do a silly Dollar Store gift exchange, have a goofy ornament
making contest, and order pizza. Nothing fancy, just fun! We also
make a Family Time Capsule. The best part is reading the sheets from the
previous year and seeing how much we've changed!! Fun, fun, fun!
Even though we create this on Christmas Eve, this activity could really be done at
any time of the year (first day of school, 4th of July, birthday, etc.).
Just keep the envelops in a secret place and remember to open it on the same
date the following year. You could also save it for a certain day of the
school year-invite family members in, serve light snacks and have them complete
the time capsule together.
To get started...
Setting Up the Time Capsule Area
Gather some winter or holiday
themed items and designate a table in your house for families to go to and
complete their time capsule sheets. Provide the sheets, fancy
pencils, envelopes, glue sticks, a scale, and measuring tape and let
the memory making go from there!
Includes a directions page and:
Happy Memory Making!!
What a lovely idea. I love looking back at things from the past. I don't believe we realise how much we change unless we do this because change is usually so subtle. Thanks.
