The little boys have been learning a little about space. Since they LOVE the Racing Racecars game, I decided to make one to go with our Space unit. Hence, the Astronauts to Earth printable game:
There are currently four different game boards included in the Astronauts to Earth download that can be used to help reinforce the following concepts: numbers, colors, and shapes. There is also a blank game board that can be used to fill in any information that you would like! I am working on another board that can be used for more advanced concepts. (I’ll let you know when it is ready! 🙂
HINT: To save on ink and paper, laminate your game board or slide it into a page protector and use dry erase markers with it.
We use the coordinating Spaceship Color insert cards with our Education Cubes to go along with the game. {You can access the Spaceship Color insert cards by joining the Education Cubes Members Only site.} Another fun option would be the Write-on Wipe-off Dice Set (shown on the left). I just ordered a set and I can’t wait for them to arrive!
The game is super easy to play. Roll the cube or dice and mark off the appropriate cloud beginning at the respective spaceship. Continue marking off clouds until all the astronauts get back to Earth (i.e. all of the clouds are marked off.)
Download the Astronauts to Earth printable game on my website for FREE!
You know, I COMPLETELY forgot that I had another game that I was working on (with more colors)! I will try to get it completed for you!
Love, love, love this game!! My students will love to use it. I have just printed off the edu. cubes for the color game and didn’t realize there were more colors!! Yea!! I was wondering if there was a spaceship color board to go with the other colors?
Keep up the good work!!!
Hi Anna! It will direct you to a page on my actual website (as opposed to my blog): http://www.mamajenn.com/MamaJenn/AstronautsToEarth.html
Once you are on that page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see a download link.
Hope that helps!
I have been trying to print this game and it keeps linking back to a different page.
these are really cute! thanks for sharing.
Adorable! And we’re just beginning our Space unit this week, thanks!
Blessings,
Valerie
Pssst: My cubes are in the mail! I can’t wait for them to show up!
