• I number the rows 1-10 and pick one student from each row to come up to the board. This student has to draw an alien. It gets a little crowded up there, but the rest of the class enjoys seeing their friends attempt to draw. Once everyone finishes, I go over each alien and briefly ask if it is a boy or girl, what is his/her name, what is his/her favorite food, is he/she good or bad and why.

• Usually when the kids give the alien a name it is the name of one of the kids in class and they all laugh really hard. They seem to enjoy drawing up on the board as well.

Everybody lives on a street in a city

Or a village, or a town, for what it's worth.And they're all inside a country which is part of

a continentThat sits upon a planet known as Earth.And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountainsWhich is out there spinning silently in space.And living on that Earth are the plants and the

animalsAnd also the entire human race.

It's a great big universeAnd we're all really puny

We're just tiny little specksAbout the size of Mickey Rooney.

It's big and black and inkyAnd we are small and dinky

It's a big universe, and we're not.

And we're part of a vast interplanetary systemStretching seven hundred billion miles long.With nine planets and a sunWe think the Earth's the only oneThat has life on it, although we could be wrong.Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroidsIncluding meteors and Halley's Comet too.And there's over fifty moons floating out there

like balloonsIn a panoramic trillion-mile view.

And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion starsIn a galaxy we call the Milky Way.It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the otherAnd still that's just a fraction of the way.'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the skyFilled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.And still the universe extends to a place that never endsWhich is maybe just inside a little jar!

It's a great big universeAnd we're all really punyWe're just tiny little specksAbout the size of Mickey Rooney.Though we don't know how it got here We're an important part hereIt's a big universe and it's ours!
