This is a short activity about the planets in our solar system, for KS2 or KS3. There are three stages: Children connect a statement about a planet to the planet it is referring to Children read statements about our solar system and decide if they are true or false Children read a clue/series of clues, and have to use their knowledge of the solar system to work out what the mystery planet is.

If not, I’d advise giving it a go; the kids love space, and are always up for new and challenging info about it!
