Use a press button (snap fastener) to attach pocket to the Planet Hop page.
PLAYING THE PLANET HOP GAME:
Each player chooses a moving piece;
the players start from the furthest planet (Pluto);
with the roll of the die they move (hop) along the planets;
the first one to reach the Sun wins.
Making It Fun:
Write up cards for each planet – if they land on a certain planet something happens;
For example: You have been pulled into a wormhole; move back to Pluto;
(Saturn) – You have gotten stuck in Saturn’s Ring – miss a Turn;
(Mars) – You have landed in a Mars sandstorm – miss a Turn while trying get the
sand out of your Spacesuit.
Let your imagination venture into Space 🙂
CREATING THE PLAYBOOK:
Take the long ribbon and weave it thru a large eye wool needle; Place your pages onto top of each other and starting at the left bottom side; insert your needle from the bottom up thru the last row on all the pages; pull the ribbon thru;
Tie a bow to knot the ribbon in place. SKIP THE NEXT ROW; and weave the ribbon thru the next row –continue this way until the end;
