Printable Star Gazing Scavenger Hunt is a post by Kristen of Drawn2BCreative.

Summer is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the night sky! Adults and children can both appreciate the beauty and majesty of the stars with this free printable star gazing scavenger hunt.

This two page printable features one scavenger hunt page, where you identify the phase of the moon and find nine constellations.  The second page is a guide to show how the constellations are arranged in the sky, in case you need some help finding them all.

Planning a fun star-gazing evening can be as simple or as complicated as you want.  To have an easy star searching night, just grab a blanket, your printable, and head outside once it’s dark. Make sure you go somewhere with minimal street and building lights – the less light pollution, the better!  Lay out your blanket and enjoy the star-inspired conversation that follows.

To really appreciate the night sky, you can throw a whole star-themed bash, ending with the scavenger hunt printable.  Have your friends bring their own blankets, and see who can find all the constellations fastest.

Adults and children can both appreciate the beauty and majesty of the stars with this free printable star gazing scavenger hunt!

And lastly to make it a truly educational experience for your kids, get a copy of National Geographic Kids First Big Book of Space.

    Neat idea!! We are traveling to Europe soon. Could we use this there? I don’t know enough about astronomy to know if the stars we’ll see there are the same as here in North America. Do you have any idea?
    Thanks for sharing!

      Absolutely! These are summer constellations for any country in the Northern Hemisphere, or north of the Equator. Europe looks at the same night sky as we do 🙂
