Activity Set: Space & Aliens
Stimulus: Book- There’s an alien in your book by Tom Fletcher
This story is an interactive adventure about an adorable alien that has crash-landed in our book! The readers are tasked with helping the alien back up into space, by jiggling, bouncing and turning your book upside down!
I would ask for a student to pretend to be the “invading Alien” and we could do a hotseat activity in which the other learners could question the alien. We could as a class guess the planet the alien originated from and could perhaps create a new name for a planet and draw what we think the planet might look, smell, feel and sound like. We could discuss the feelings associated with being lost/separated from family and the many methods of helping the alien get home.
