A Little Moon Madness!



I can't think of anything more fun to teach than space. The moon is one topic that I totally love teaching about! There's just so much great information out there. Nothing gets kids REALLY excited like learning about the moon! I have included some great videos, games and goodies (including a freebie) for you to use in your classroom as you study all about the moon! Hope you and your kids enjoy them!

This is a great video about moon phases.  I really like the way it is presented!



This is a great game for centers or fast finishers.  It's a simple matching games with a moon phases and its name.



This impressive video is from National Geographic. It covers it all, and is pretty short!




  Great video about the first moon walk on the moon


       
This video is for kids aged third grade and up. It's really good!
       


This site has great activities about the moon…kids will love it and very kid-friendly!




Oh My! This site has lots of short moon videos (everything you could need) plus links to games and more! It's from NEOK12



Now for the freebie!
