Astronaut Adventure

Get ready for an amazing acting adventure!

When you act, you can pretend to be or do anything because acting involves using your imagination, and we already know you are so good at using your imagination to do all kinds of things! 

Today you will pretend to be an astronaut, about to embark on an adventure.

Think about what an astronaut would wear.

  • Find some 'space gear' like helmets, boots, or gloves, or use household items to pretend (e.g., a pot as a helmet).
  • Or, just pretend to put on your astronaut gear and get ready for launch.

Hop into your spaceship!

  • This could be a cardboard box, a chair, or even just a space on the floor. Now you're ready to explore the stars.

Hit play on the song Hip Hop Astronaut, by Go Noodle Awesome Sauce to accompany your adventure.

Dance, float, and explore like a real astronaut!

  • As the song plays, use your body to pretend you’re blasting off, floating in space, and discovering new planets. 
  • Let your imagination lead the way as you move and groove through the galaxy!

Apple Addition

Now, Let's Play!

Can you line up 3 apples? Now, make a line of 5 apples. How many apples are there altogether?

  • Touch each apple with your finger as you count—this helps with one-to-one correspondence, so you don’t lose track!

Explore different groups and amounts by counting your apples in all kinds of ways.

Try these fun math questions:

  • How many red apples do you have?
  • How many green apples?
  • Are there more green apples or red apples?
  • How many apples are there in total?

Measure with your apples:

  • Lie down on the floor and have a friend line up apples from your head to your toes. Then, stand up and count to see how tall you are—in apples! 
  • What else can you measure and count with your apples?

I’m blown away by how thoughtful and delightful these resources are!
"Since opening the package last night, M and N have each spent time reading it with A. The magic of the story itself is floating all 3 of my kids in different ways. I want every kid I know to have this and it would be a perfect holiday gift from grandparents - truly!"
