One of the creatures from Ziba is coming to earth, and you have been given the task of interviewing the Ziba creature. You'll need to decide on the ten best questions to ask and write those first. Then you'll need to image what the creature might answer and write those answers next to the questions. Include a drawing of the creature. Give each child two paper plates.
Spirals look great as spinning saucers whirl through the sky.
To construct the whirlers, each child staples two plates together either back to back or front to front. After some individual whirler experimentation, players might want to try additional modifications, such as cutting holes in the center or adding other paper elements, to see how they affect flight patterns. All children who fit description, run out and try to get to the opposite side of the field before being tagged by the Man from Mars. Continue until all are tagged. Group Time Invite children to pretend they're going to spend a day on the moon or one of the nine planets, and to list their basic needs during their visit to that particular environment.
