the really very cool total solar eclipse

Sooo I'm a bit obsessed with the solar eclipse that will happen on Monday, August 21, 2017. I booked my ticket to Nashville as soon as I heard Nashville was one of the major cities where you can see the total eclipse. This eclipse is really very cool because it has been 99 years (the last time was 1918) since the United States experienced a coast to coast solar eclipse. I'm thrilled to be in my hometown celebrating this very special experience with family and friends. Inspired by the eclipse, I've been on a bit of creative spree. Check out my eclipse party planning tips here.

Print this ice breaker activity using Avery self-adhesive 5160 labels. Place one of the labels on the upper back of each player. Each person must try to figure out the astronomy term they have by asking “Yes” or “No” questions to gain clues about the term that is on their back.
