What
to Do
Cut
out the planet images. You'll use them as a visual aid to figure out
the order of the planets.
Cut
out and distribute one clue card to each family member or participant.
Give two to some if there are more cards than family members. Inform
each person that he/she is not allowed to show the clue cards to anyone
else, but is allowed to read them aloud to the group as many times
as necessary.
Using
the clues, see if your family can figure out the order of the planets.
Check
your answer with the Planet Order
ListChart. If your order is different, try to see where you
might have gone wrong.
Construct
the order of the planets using construction paper and the planet images.
