Star Dice

UNAWE Universe Awareness for Young Children

How to make a set of star-dice Many of UNAWE’s materials come in one self-contained printout/package. This makes them truly ‘hands-on’ activities. Children put together the materials and during this process discover the images or facts for the first time. They examine, create and own the materials as part of the process.

Do you want to play a UNAWE game? Astronomy snakes and ladders, Power Planets or why not make up an astronomy game of your own?

Here is a template for a set of star-dice to make and use in your game.

UNAWE WHAT TO DO: • Print and cut out the template and then paste onto cardboard. (alternatively, you can make a completely blank template that children can decorate themselves.)

• Using a ruler, fold along all the lines and then fit the cube together.

• Secure the cube white with some small pieces of tape pasted to the inside of the cube.

• You are ready to roll.

Source: UNAWE Indonesia UNAWE is an international programme to inspire young underprivileged children with the beauty and scale of the universe. Universe Awareness illustrates the multicultural origins of modern astronomy in an effort to broaden children's minds, awaken their curiosity in science and stimulate global citizenship and tolerance.

Universe Awareness is imagination, excitement and fun in the universe for the very young.
