Decorate with plastic space men, large alien paper cut outs, hanging planets (colored styrofoam balls) and stars, star charts, a foil covered box “space ship”, Christmas lights (white or multi color blinking) and a Roswell or Area 51 sign.

Games & Activities
Play find the alien (follow clues to find a well hidden alien toy), alien twister (place red alien sticker on red dot, yellow alien on yellow dot, etc.), and pin the eyes on the aliens (give each child and eye and let them each add their eye to a large drawing of and alien face). Identify stars and planets with a telescope at a night time party. Show science fiction videos (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.).

Decorate unknown planets using colored styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, sequins and pins. Make space ships out of plastic containers (butter tubs or styrofoam containers), foil, and other misc. supplies.
