Embark on an Interplanetary Adventure – Planet Activity for Kids

In this immersive escape room experience, students will become cosmic detectives, using their knowledge of the different planets to crack the celestial code and guide our extraterrestrial friends home. The escape room includes a dynamic slide deck that unveils clues about each planet, keeping participants on the edge of their seats as they navigate through the vastness of space.

Our escape room resource doesn’t stop with just solving puzzles – it’s a comprehensive learning experience! Dive into our interactive worksheets, meticulously crafted to reinforce planetary knowledge and critical thinking skills. From matching the right characteristics to each planet to solving mind-bending space riddles, these worksheets will take your students on an educational journey that’s out of this world.

Planet Worksheets

As part of this fun escape room students will complete the following activities:

  • Unscramble words to make solar system related words.
  • Planet maze where students need to remember the order of the planets and make their way through the maze.
  • Decide if certain statements about the planets are true or false.
  • Write the correct number beside each planet to determine their order in the line of up planets from the sun.

After students have worked out the responses to these questions they will then be able to work out the code to find the aliens home planet.
