Planet Stats Card Game: Printable Space Cards for Kids

Which world wins? This printable card game has ten space cards: the eight planets, the Moon and Pluto. Each card has six real stats from NASA’s Planetary Fact Sheet, so every round is a little space lesson too.

The six stats on every card: width, gravity, escape speed, length of a day, average temperature and number of moons. Each card also has a “star fact”, such as which card has the longest day.

Three ways to play:

- Space Race (2 to 4 players): pick a stat from your top card. The highest number wins every top card

- Cold Snap: the same game, but the lowest number wins

- Line-up (1 player or a team): put all ten cards in order by one stat, then check against the stats table

Also included: card backs, two blank cards to make your own, a stats table of all ten cards, a 10-question card quiz with answers, and a score sheet.

Suggested ages 7 to 12. A round of Space Race takes about 15 minutes. Great for a space party, a rainy afternoon, a long journey or a classroom.

Files: one zip with the A4 PDF (9 pages), the US Letter PDF and a read-me.

Printing: print at 100% / actual size. Colour looks best, but everything works in black and white. Thin card works better than paper.

Where the facts come from: NASA’s Planetary Fact Sheet (nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov), page last updated 18 March 2025, checked 3 November 2026. Pluto’s dwarf-planet label: NASA’s Pluto page. Moon counts change as new moons are found; the cards use the counts on the Fact Sheet. Not endorsed by NASA.

The games, quiz, drawings and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work.

Licence: print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class or group. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly.
