Syllabus Vocabulary Educational Game

- OBJECT OF THE GAME

Be the first astronaut to collect the five stars of your color and land on the moon.

- SETUP

Choose one Sky grid and lay the Picture cards in a 5 x 5 grid in the center of the table, making sure

to put the Moon card in the place indicated on the grid.

Each player chooses an Astronaut player marker and stars in the

matching color.

Copying the pattern on the Sky grid, place the Astronaut player

markers, the Moon marker, and the Stars of the players’

colors on the Picture cards. Any unused stars

stay in the box.

- PLAYING THE GAME

The youngest player starts. Play then continues clockwise.

The astronauts’ aim is to move between the spaces, collecting the five stars of their color.

To move your astronaut, say a word related to the picture it is standing on and then move your

astronaut exactly the same number of spaces as there are syllables in the word. You cannot move

fewer spaces than the number of syllables.

Astronauts can move horizontally or vertically but not diagonally.

You can pass through or stop on a space occupied by another player.

You cannot return to a space already passed through during your turn.

- If your astronaut stops on a space containing a star of your color, pick up the star. If they

stop on an empty space or a space containing a star of another player’s color, nothing happens. Once

you have finished moving, play passes to the next player.

When an astronaut has collected their five stars, they then have to get to the Moon space.

- END OF THE GAME

The game ends when an astronaut lands on the Moon with their five stars.

Finish the round so that all players have had the same number of turns: All the astronauts who

have landed on the Moon with their five stars during the last turn piece together their dream and

win the game!
