Welcome to our How to Be an Earthling activities page for all your at-home and in-school activity needs!
Dear classmates,
I’ve always been the expert on outer space in my class. I didn’t think anyone knew more than me about the planets, but then Spork showed up. I have to learn more—let’s do some research!
Your friend,
Jack
Dear classmates,
I couldn’t believe all of the creatures we saw in the tank at the aquarium. If you could choose fish for an aquarium, what would you pick? I know I would definitely include a squid!
Your friend,
Trixie
Dear classmates,
Spork knows nothing about Earth plants—especially the pinecone he tried to eat. I’m not an expert gardener myself, so I need your help to teach Spork about how plants grow.
Your friend,
Newton
Dear classmates,
Every day Spork has so many questions for me about life on Earth. I am doing my best to teach him everything I know—like how to braid dandelion stems and how to be brave in front of a crowd. What things do you think are important for Spork to know about life on Earth?

Dear classmates,
Outer space seemed like the perfect theme for this year’s carnival. Now we need to come up with some out-of-this-world games! Can you help us plan a great carnival game?
Your friend,
Trixie
Dear classmates,
I want to make sure our baseball teams are fair, so at recess yesterday I kept track of how everyone did. Can you help me decide who should be on my team and who should be on Adam’s team to make our next game as fair as possible?
Your friend,
Spork
Dear classmates,
Jack and Trixie worked hard to convince our class that they would each be the best student council representative. They made posters and gave speeches to tell us how they wanted to make our school better. How would you improve your school if you had the chance?
Your friend,
Newton
Dear classmates,
Have you ever had a job? Before someone will hire you, they often ask you lots of questions to see if you’ll be able to do the job well. This is called an interview. If you were Nina, what questions would you have asked me?
Your friend,

Dear classmates,
It was so cool to watch Newton’s chicken. hatch. I want to get a chicken of my own, but first my mom says I need to learn more about chickens. Like, what happens after the egg hatches? Can you help?
Your friend,
Trixia
Dear classmates,
The parks on my planet are very different from the ones on Earth. Your parks are so green, ours are much redder. Are the parks near you like Chickadee Park? You really should make sure every earthling knows about these beautiful parks.
Your friend,
Spork
Dear class,
The Snooper Trooper books are some of the third graders’ favorites. What is a book or series you and your friends enjoy?
Your teacher,
Mrs. Quigly
Dear classmates,
Mrs. Buckle created a scavenger hunt to teach us about cooperation. I wanted to do it by myself, but I learned it’s better to work together. Even though I didn’t win, the scavenger hunt was a lot of fun. It would be great if you could create a scavenger hunt for the class.
Your friend,
Jack
