Race to Space Board Game

If your science students have started or finished a space unit, I have just the game they’ll love. This is a Race to Space Board Game that can be implemented at any time. It is great for an introduction or a review. This is great for upper elementary students in 4th and 5th grade.

Game Play Directions:

--The goal of the game is to reach Saturn.

--The first player rolls the die and moves however many spaces indicated on the die.

--If you land on the nova card space, pick a card and answer the question.

--The keeper of the answers will check the accuracy of the answer.

--If the question is answered incorrectly, they will have to move back 2 spaces.

--If they answer correctly, they get to stay where they are.

--The first to Saturn wins!

Teacher Instructions:

--Cut out and laminate the game board and adventure/nova cards

--Label the nova and adventure cards or print them on different color paper

--Blank nova cards are provided if you want to write your own questions

--You will need one die and game pieces for each player

--You may want to assign one student to be the “keeper of the answers” or you can check the student’s answers yourself.

--This game works best when played with 3-6 players.

I hope you enjoy!
