UFOs and Aliens No Prep Activity Packet and Worksheets

Students answer recall and opinion questions after reading three short nonfiction passages about UFO folklore and the Roswell incident.

Students alphabetize UFO and alien vocabulary words.

Students write an original short story or description of an invented alien using their own generated character traits.

Select individual pages rather than assigning the whole packet, since difficulty ranges from tracing and coloring pages to multi-paragraph reading response and inference questions.

Use the three reading passages as a supplement to a broader unit, for extra practice, or as sub plans, since each is self-contained with its own response sheet.

Provide scissors and glue for the pattern page, coloring materials for drawing pages, and a die for Roll An Alien.

Nonfiction reading comprehension — students answer recall and inference questions about three short passages on UFO sightings and the Roswell incident.

Alphabetical ordering — students sequence 16 UFO/alien vocabulary words such as antenna, flying, saucer and alien into ABC order.
