Last month we went back in time to the age of the dinosaurs with our Lonely Planet Kids ‘design a dinosaur’ competition. We received some fantastic entries and can’t wait to see what your travellers-in-training dream up next. For this month’s creative competition, we’re looking to the future and visiting unexplored territories, inspired by our How to be a Space Explorer book. The winner will get their hands on a bundle of Lonely Planet Kids books!
The task
First, watch our How to be a Space Explorer video. Then write your own rap, poem or short story about a trip into space, starting with the sentence ‘If I was a space explorer…’. Tell us where you’d go and describe all the cosmic things you’d see. If you like, you could draw a picture to go with your entry. The most inspiring and creative entry will win a selection of Lonely Planet Kids books, including How to be a Space Explorer!
