Constellation Connect-the-Dots
Get ready for stargazing before it's totally dark by connecting the dots of several famous constellations. Then color them in together, and make them as elaborate or colorful as you'd like. When the stars are visible in the night sky, you can find the constellations together with your newfound knowledge after drawing them. You can download this printable connect-the-dots activity here.

Campfire Storytelling Activity
Have some laughs together by taking turns storytelling based on random story elements. All you need is a single die, the story creation sheet, and your imagination. Each person rolls the die 5 times, circling whichever story elements correspond with the number rolled under each category. You can download this printable storytelling activity here.
