Fun in Space

SPACE GAMES!



Weightless Games:

If you play tag in weightlessness, you could bounce around a lot, hitting walls and ceiling and floor. You would need new rules. You would need metal strips that would stick to the walls. There wouldn't be any up and down.

You could still play hide and seek in weightlessness. You would need something to hide behind. It would have to be nailed to the floor or wall or ceiling. You would have to hang on tight.

If you played marbles in weightlessness, you would have to wear a helmet. If you hit the marbles, they would fly through the air everywhere forever and never stop. There is no gravity to make them fall or stop them. You could only play hitting one marble at a time. You would have to be careful not to get hit. It would hurt, even though it doesn't weigh anything. It is still made of stuff.

If you want to play jump rope in space, you can not do it by yourself with a regular jump rope. If two people held the ends of the rope, and they jumped up and down, or from side to side, you could jump the rope.

If you want to jump by yourself, you would have to have a metal rope shaped like a rainbow or a u. Wear helmets. Be careful not to hit anyone - it will hurt a lot!

We think it would be smart to wear a helmet all the time in weightlessness. Then nothing can hit you in the head!


Low gravity games - like for the moon.

If you play basketball on the moon, you would have to have a heavier ball or you will get too many easy points. You will have to raise the basket or even a little kid could slam dunk.

If you jump rope on the moon, you will be able to jump really high. It will be slower. You will not get tired so quick.

Space dolls -

Space dolls will have batteries that make them jump.

They will have special shoes to hold them down.

You will put a suit on them, with batteries. It will have a switch. They could go down, or they could float.
