Drama Activities 

Imagine you are an astronaut headed on this mission. Act out the following –

  • Pack a bag to take with you into space – what will you bring? You can use props.
  • It’s the morning of your mission. Get dressed in your space suit – you will need a helmet, a spacesuit and space boots. Is it easy to move in? Try to walk about the room.
  • You are sitting in the space rocket (with your seat belt on of course!) and the countdown begins. 10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!! The rocket takes off. What would you say? What will your face and body look like?
  • The rocket is now in space. There is no gravity in space so you are very light (your feet don’t stay on the ground!). Show how you would move about.

Just For fun

Would you like to be an astronaut? The girl in this video would!
