The activity set I would like to use in the classroom would be The Planets. I would begin by showing pupils the Planets song to spark curiosity about our solar system. I would then gather information that the children know about the planets already by using a KWL chart and through think-pair-share.
I would then introduce the Planet game to the pupils by placing hula hoops on the ground and pretending each hoop is a planet. I like the idea of the children moving around the room to different ‘planets’ as they are up out of their seats and actively learning.
To conclude, I would do the Planet dance with the pupils, as this would challenge their spatial orientation. This is also a fun listening activity for the children. I would then ask the children questions about what planets we have and what we revolve around to check for understanding.
