Space Station- Imaginary Play

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to send you all a friendly reminder that you signed up for the Outer Space Imaginary Play center. Barbara would like A LOT of hands on activities for the children.

Set Up: All of you will work on set up. Some of you will assemble our Space Ship.  Some of you will organize and stock our outer space gear including space suits, helmets and rocket packs. Some of you will set up our mission control station. Others will work on decor and overall setup. 

Take Down: You will all take down the Castle. You will return furniture and items to their original places and recreate the original “kitchen/house” environment.

You will ALL be responsible for setting up AND taking down this center.  If you are unavailable it is YOUR responsibility to notify your Team Leader PRIOR to the Setup/ Take down day.


The School/ Teacher Barbara has the Following:
• Voting Booth to create outerspace backdrop
• Space suits, goggles, gloves, coveralls

One of my favorite things ever a Space Ship Fix- it area. Above this board it says " What Makes a Spaceship Work?" The kids can plug and unplug cords, ribbons, etc. They can move and remove memory cards, RAM, and other pieces.
The back is all anti- static bags
This was made from computer parts I had in my garage!
