Free Printable Constellation Cards

This post may contain affiliate links.

My kids and I have been fascinated with constellations lately and have been wanting to learn more about them.  I thought it would be fun to turn it into a learning game. I made some constellation cards to use to play  a matching game. They can also be used as flashcards for memorizing the constellations.

Free Constellation Cards from Teach Beside Me

This is a free set of 32 different printable constellation cards to use however you want in your learning. The cards have the constellation pictures and then the star patterns below it. If you want to make them into flashcards, you can leave the two parts connected and just fold it over.  Or, you can cut them apart to use as a matching game.  Just so you know, some of the star patterns were too wide to leave in the same orientation so I flipped them sideways to make them fit a little better on the cards.

We have been enjoying using the constellation cards to help better learn the star patterns in the sky. We are planning on getting a telescope this summer to help us learn even more!

  2. Hi
    I was so excited to find your website. I am doing a constellation activity for my daughters birthday party and this would be perfect. I am not able to access any of the printables though as I cannot find the subscription page.
    All you activities and learning tools look amazing. I am sure I will now spend the next couple of weeks putting together some fun activities for my little girls! Thanks!
