Jill and Elizabeth also created a game called, "Racing Through the Stars", a game where you are racing your opponents to the finish line. These are the following directions which apply to the game.

In our game, we not only included information on the sun and stars, but also on UV Protection Facts, and how to prevent damage from the (can be) dangerous sun. Here is a tip for you on how to protect yourselves:

UV rays activate vitamin D, kill certain germs and boost our mood, but overexposure to UV rays damages the skin. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause cancer, wrinkles, and can be dangerous to your body, which is why sun protection should be taken seriously. Sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, umbrellas, and sun protective clothing are recommended for your outside safety.
