Have for each kid an ID badge with their Agent Letter on the front put their
fingerprint on the inside. Provide stats also on the inside "home planet,
sector, special skills" Fill bags with tinsel for effect.
Games and Activities:
Alien World:
Fill up a room with blown up balloons (like a ball pit). Let the kids play in this
(not for toddlers).
Robot Arm:
Need: Teams of two. One is the Operator and the other the robot. Bandana
or something to cover the robots eyes. One or more items to retrieve. Timer
Set the objects in different areas at waist level. Let the robot see at this point.
From a starting point, cover the robots eyes. Make sure they cannot see,
could even cover their whole head with a brown paper bag-over the bandana.
At "GO" the operator must give the robot commands from a stationary position.
i.e.: forward, left, right, arm out, down, pick-up etc. These
commands should get the robot to the item(s). The operator must then give
commands to have the robot return. Time each team. The winning team is the one
with the lowest time.
FOR YOUNGER PLAYERS: Have the robot sit and use only an arm. Cover their eyes and
place the objects around them. The operator then gives the commands for the robots
arm.
Phone Home:
Give them a mission to build a radio tower
Need: Blocks or other materials that can be stacked. Could also be an
assortment of items.
Teams of two or more
On "Go" let the teams begin building for a set period of time. The team
with the highest tower built with out tumbling wins. The towers must be
free-standing.
Alien Planet Exploration:
Hide different objects or space rocks (rocks wrapped in foil) in a set aside area.
Other items that could be hidden are: Plastic Easter eggs with items inside,
unusual plastic animals or alien figures, and candies. If you set up the balloon
pit/room...hide them in that.
Make Aliens:
Need: Toilet paper tubes, yarn, eyes, pipe cleaners, tissue paper, glue,
tape, etc.
Let the kids use their own creativity to create alien beings.
Use overturned paper plate and and overturned paper bowl glued on the top (colored plates work great). Let the kids decorate with glue, construction paper, glitter,
pipe cleaners, crayons and pens. Give prizes for the most alien and imaginative.
Space Race: Let the kids fly their new craft. Give a prize to the one
that fly's the farthest.
Pin the Planet on the Solar System
Hot "alien" (similar to hot potato)
Alien BINGO: ALIEN across the top. Can use a dry erase board to write down the numbers as they are called. Can be a challenge for the Bingo caller.
