Sizing Things Down Printable Cards

This learning activity was designed for museum use. This game includes a set of full color printable cards showing various things in the universe from planets to sub-atomic particles. The idea of the game is to order your cards from small to large. We really enjoyed playing this game! And we also used the cards to play WAR -- first with largest thing winning, and later with the smallest thing winning. After you play the game, put the card into a pocket for your lapbook. Or attach selected ones onto an accordion book showing the progression from large to small.
