Idea for constellations activity

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

please keep the list in cc.
Do you have a link/video to the game you played? I was under the impression
it was an extension to the solar system activity, but it seems more a
"count" activity.
If the aim is "just" to count number of stars and type it, we have
enumerate activity that does the same.
