Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational: Free Printable Phases of the Moon Game
When our boys and I were marveling at how big and bright the moon was last week, I got the idea to develop this little game. It's an adaptation of the game Yahtzee, which our 9-year-old loves to play with his grandma. Download the free PDF from Google Drive here. For two players, you'll want to print 8 copies of the game cards (Print more for additional players). Cut and shuffle. How to Play Cut the scorecards apart; you'll need one for each player. first quarter (3) last quarter (7) new moon (1) they can use the hand as their three of a kind, first quarter (add all the threes), or last quarter (add the two sevens). Play alternates between players. Have more fun, play a second game! Variation: My youngest son (age 5) wanted to get in on the action. Read When we were done playing, my oldest son read The Night Sky to my youngest.
Project Beak: Adaptations
Take a look at all the birds in your backyard sometime. Chances are you'll see several different types of birds, each with different beaks, coloration, body shapes and bills. These birds live in the same basic habitat – the city. So why are they so different? If all birds ate exactly the same food, lived in exactly the same place, and tried to raise their young in exactly the same habitat, they would all be competing for the same types of food, water, shelter, and space. Fortunately, different birds fill different niches (areas within the habitat). Some of these adaptations or changes are physical, like the shape of the bill. Usually, the physical and behavioral characteristics that get passed along through the generations are the traits that help the bird survive the best. One of the cool ways to see how a bird has adapted to its environment is to take a close look at its bill and feet. Birds have also developed special wings and body coloration to help them survive.
