"The Right Stuff" Moon Landing Game
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 — the space flight that put the first people on the moon — with a board game that is out of this world!
Materials
Assemble the Game
Print game cards, game board and character playing piece on card stock or paper. Print the game cards double-sided—thicker paper works best. Cut out as directed.
Tape together the left (Side 1) and right (Side 2) sides of the game board. Combine Rocket and Team Power cards into one pile and the Brain Power cards into another pile. Put both piles on the table next to the game board.
Gather Team Power Supplies (see game instructions PDF) and place these next to the game board as well.
Follow the directions on the game instructions PDF to learn how to play the game!
