Countdown to Blastoff, by Jack Hartmann on the “Math All Around Me” CD.Look for a printable poster of this rhyme on the Nursery Rhymes Page. Nursery rhymes that go well with a Space Theme: On the other half, they draw things they would see in the sky in the day (sun, clouds, etc). On one half of the paper, children draw things they would see in the sky at night (stars, moon, etc). We paint them gray and add a mini American cupcake flag (can be found at Hobby Lobby and other stores). They use toothpicks for carving and small rocks (“asteroids”) to crash into the dough to make craters. The children spread Crayola Model Magic onto a paper plate. Moonscapesįirst we look at photos of the moon and talk about its surface (color, craters, mountains, etc.) Then we make a model moonscape. When the viewer is held up to the light it looks like stars are shining through. We cover the end with a circle of black paper, attach it with a rubber band, and poke holes in the paper with a toothpick. The children color a paper towel tube with markers. Space Science Activities Constellation Viewers This printable can be found on the More Grid Games page. You could still use the same stars for the counters, or use glass flat marbles, or foam star shapes. Here’s another version of a grid game that you can print rather than make with stickers. This game was made with stickers bought at Michaels. Children can play alone or with other players. The object of the game is to fill the grid.
They roll a die and count out that amount of stars to put on the grid. Space Grid GameĬhildren use a grid game board with ten wooden stars spray-painted gold. This activity can also be done with letters. When they finished, they hold the paper up to the light, and it looks like stars are shining through in the shape of the number. Children place the paper on the carpet and poke small holes along the numeral with a toothpick. Number ConstellationsĬhildren are given a piece of construction paper with a number written on it in black ink. They sort the stars by size and glue them on the three papers. Read the blog post here for details: story retelling Space Math Activities Star SizesĮach child has a small, medium and large sheet of black paper, and small, medium and large paper stars. Choose a book that goes with the theme, and have the children retell the story. This is an activity that goes with any theme. Space Literacy Activities Name RocketĬhildren write each letter of their name on squares of paper, glue the letters in order on paper, and decorate it to look like a rocket. They tear pieces of green construction paper and glue them on the circle for the land. Planet Earth ArtĬhildren cut a circle out of white construction paper, cover the circle with blue tissue paper, and paint over it with liquid starch to make it stick. The children paint a coffee filter with watercolors, and glue it onto black paper. Space Art Activities Coffee Filter Planets Mix wiggle eyes into the play dough for children to find. Space Fine Motor Activities Alien Play Dough The children squat on the floor and count backwards to blastoff. We erase numbers 10-1 from the board as the class counts backward. We listen to slow music and pretend we were on the moon, moving in slow motion.
