Galaxy Battle Card Game

-


I absolutely love the adorable "Galaxy Battle" clip art from @AccaliaDigital on Etsy!  Ever since I bought the set last year, I haven't stopped using them in great games and pinterest images.  I made this card game last summer, but never got around to putting it on the blog.  Since this coming Saturday is May the Fourth, this seems like a good time to get it out into the world.

The set of cards feature 20 popular characters from the Star Wars franchise including a Stormtrooper, BB8, Rey, and Bobo Fett.  The PDF is set up to print four cards for every character with a si-fi background to make the cards less see-through.  Just set your printer to double-sided and print the entire packet.  I recommend using cardstock for durability.

With the background, the PDF is a bit of an ink sucker, but that's why I love my HP Instant Ink printer!  I can print whatever I want and use as much ink as I want for one monthly fee.  Before we even run out of ink, HP sends up the next set of cartridges.  I don't know how it could be easier!  I used to spend so much money every year on printer ink and getting my printables printed at Staples.  Now, I can make whatever I want for free!  To find out more, read the post from my other blog, where I lay out the details of how it works.





After you've printed the cards, I recommend laminating them for durability.  The cards can be used for a rousing game of "Go Dark," which is just the "Galaxy Battle" version of "Go Fish."  The "that's no moon" card can be the "Old Maid" card in a game of the same name.  Instructions for both games can be found on the Bicycle Card website or by clicking the colored text above.  As with most of the printables I've been making lately, these cards fit in an Altoid tin and the PDF comes with a label for the tin.

This "Galaxy Battle" card game is durable (and cheap) enough for camping, the beach, travel, and all sorts of outings.  Carry them around with you everywhere, so you'll always have something to do with your kids at restaurants, appointments, and other wait times.  Here are some other fun games that I found:




Spot It  ♦  Go Fish  ♦  Monopoly Deal  ♦  Funky Chicken

Emojinks  ♦  Blink  ♦  Sleeping Queens




Uno Splash  ♦  Sushi Go  ♦  Avocado Smash

24 Fire-Free Camping Meals

This blog article was originally posted on my first blog  In Our Pond .  I started out trying to put all my travel content on my homeschooling blog, but it grew to be too big.  So, I'm moving all the road trip stuff over here!  It'll probably take me a while to move all the posts, but I'll also be posting new content on here as well.  In Our Pond will now be exclusively for homeschooling and parenting content, while this blog (Party Through the USA) is for all the family travel posts.  Check them both out! I grew up camping, and love the smell of campfires and the way food tastes when it's been cooked over one.  Due to all the forest fires in the western part of the US and Canada, we haven't been able to have campfires for most of the summer.  Not being able to sit around the fire in the mornings and evenings is a bummer, but the real challenge comes in planning meals, especially for a large group.  When I was helping my mom plan our next camping trip, I deci

In this digital age, it's easy to hand your child a device and pacify them with movies and games the entire trip.  But, as we all know, you miss so much when you're living life throug

Travel Dice Games for Kids

-

Dice is great for camping and other types of travel, because they're tiny, heavy, and washable.  They don't take up very much room in your luggage and can often be stored in an altoid tin.  Most dice have some weight to them, so you don't have to worry about them blowing away if you're playing outside.  Lastly, plastic dice are washable, in case they end up in the mud or get grimy from being played by lots of people.  As we approach primary travel season, I've rounded up some awesome dice games from around the web. Dice is good for math practice, too.  As a homeschool family, we're always looking for ways to add fun into our school time.  Many of the games in this post promote number recognition, addition, probability, multiplication, and other math concepts.  I've also simplified many of the games to make them easier for kids to understand and win.
