Next, the children paint the pictures of the card game: which peculiarities have to be
taken into account?
Let the children cut the ten cards along the lines. On the back of each card, there is a
summary of the most important features of the individual planets. At the bottom, there
is a question, whose answer indicates another celestial body in the Solar System.
You need ten children to play the game.
Shuffle the cards and hand every child one card.
Ask the children to memorise the exact properties of ‘their’ celestial body.
The child with the sun card reads out loud the question on the bottom of the back of
its card. The answer should be called out only by that child whose celestial body was
sought. Then, this child can read out loud the question on his/her card.
The game ends when it’s the turn again of the child with the sun card.
Tip: In order to better memorise the order of the eight planets in our Solar System, use the
following mnemonic: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nachos.
