Galaxy Approved Spaced Themed Games
Strap into your rocket and get ready to blast off into a world of space-themed games. These games will have everyone involved and smiling so big all throughout the party.
1. Hunt The Alien
Hide a toy alien around the house before all of your guests arrive. Then, split into small groups and hunt for the alien creature. If you want you, can leave little clues or decoys around the house to deter the alien hunters on their journey.
2. Walk The Moon
Empty two tin cans and poke two holes in the side of the can, large enough to string a long thread or rope through. You should be able to hold up the thread and balance on the tin can. The game is to see who can complete the moonwalk the fastest by getting around the obstacle course in space. Set up a course or just have the kids walk from one side of a room or field to another. Whoever can make it across the moon first wins.
3. Alien Bowling
This game requires you to pull out your art skills before you get started. Decorate empty bottles or cans with pictures of space or aliens. Then, fill up the bottles with different amounts of sand to create weights. Line up the cans or bottles like bowling pins and line up to see who can get a strike. The winner gets shotgun on the rocket ride!
4. Moon Rock Hunt
Want to go home with a moon rock survivor? You’ve got to find them first. Before the guests arrive, hide the “moonrocks” all around the house. When you are ready to play, watch the kids go and let them see who can collect the most moon rocks.
5. Moon Landing
If you’ve played Pin the Tail on the Donkey, you’ll be pretty familiar with this game. The concept is basically the same, except you are trying to land the astronaut on the moon.
Whoever gets the astronaut the closest takes home the moon rocks!
6. Saturn’s Rings
Take a beach ball and a large hula hoop and set up a line on the ground for the space explorers to stand behind.
Then, give them the hula hoop and see if they can land the “ring” on top of the ball to get the ring on the planet. To make it harder, make the line that they have to stand behind further back.

7. Spaced-Themed Scavenger Hunt
Travel all around the galaxy and go on a space-themed scavenger hunt. Explore the ins and outs of the Milky Way and see if you can find all of the hidden clues.
8. Don’t Drop The Asteroid
Hot potato is a favorite party game, and this game takes inspiration just from that. The balloon, or asteroid, must stay in the air and avoid crashing into Earth. The players must keep the balloons up in the air as long as the music is playing. Whoever can keep their balloon up in the atmosphere the longest takes home the prize.
9. Outer Space Bingo
Did you know they play Bingo in outer space, too? The rules are the same as the classic game, just with a space-themed spin.
10. Rocket Landing
Hang a hula hoop from the ceiling and hand out plain paper for everyone to make a paper airplane. Then, take turns seeing who can stick the landing and get the rocket through the hula hoop to “land their ship.”
Each round, move the starting point back further to make the landing harder.
