To help practice reading space notes with my beginning students, I developed this board game which can be played between or among students in group classes or versus the teacher in private lessons.
Instruct the students that they are the astronaut and are trying to travel through outerspace to get back to Planet Earth. The students take turns picking cards from the stack of cards which ask them to move to different notes. If they can find the note, they get to move to that spot on the board, but if they get the note wrong, they don’t get to move. There are several “Lose a turn” and “move forward 1 space” etc cards as well. First person to get back to earth wins (and gets a prize usually).
My young students seem to really like it.
Print the game on card stock in color on legal sized paper. The accompanying cards should also be printed on card stock, but regular sized paper works fine.
Here’s the board:

Ps: If anyone knows how to upload files onto wordpress, I’d gladly upload the pdf’s so that they are easier to view and print. Just let me know. I will upload them on my website here.
