Star Clock

Last session everyone did a full Starfinder, a simple version of this is the Star Clock that uses the stars of the Big Dipper to tell time. Before going outside, review check-list from the "A Celestial Treasure Hunt" booklet (make sure everyone has a red filtered flashlight, their Starfinder and the "A Celestial Treasure Hunt" booklet). Move outside (weather permitting) and do the complete Celestial Treasure Hunt for the current season. It will give families more confidence using their Starfinder and booklet at home. Families appreciate this opportunity to give feedback and their comments may help you plan your next activity.
