Look at the Stars

It gets dark early enough that even younger children can go outside after dark and look up into the sky. Try to choose a location where your view is not blocked by trees or diminished by streetlights. Look for shapes in the sky and make up a story about what you see. If you can identify a constellation, point it out. Tell a story about the constellation or go back inside and look up the story. You will find different peoples have different names and different stories for the most prominent constellations.
