Passport to the Planets: A Science Writing Prompt for Kids

My preschooler is fascinated by space. She loved when we created our recycled plastic lid solar system and studied moon phases on the felt board. Now we are creating a passport for our solar system by writing a bit about each planet!


We are so excited that this week's Playful Preschool theme is space! There are so many ways you could use this writing prompt with your children:

- Independent learners like our daughter will welcome the challenge of being assigned one (or all!) planets. They can research, record data, and report on their findings.

- Complete the reports together as a class after learning about each planet.

- Pretend play that you are landing on each planet. Have students report back to you (on base still on Earth) to answer the questions as you model the writing.

- Create a class book with a page for each planet once complete.


This is an example of our printable completed. You can access this as well as all of our other free printables by signing up for our weekly newsletters! Once you join our email subscribers you will receive a link to the page with all printable resources we've created just for you.
