Word Pictures



This idea is from Family Fun. I think, this would be a fun activity for a thank you note to volunteers.

Doddle Wire



THIS book looks like it could really inspire students to shape wire sculptures.

When we went on our field trip to the museum two years ago, I brought wire for an outside activity. I think, this book would allow for better direction for students.

Drawing Game



My students LOVE this game.
Each person has a pencil and they take turns drawing a line on the paper. When you pick your pencil up your turn is over. You can't tell the other person what you are drawing. At the end of the turns each person tells a story to go with the picture.

To make it more challenging: you can only draw circles or triangles. Or our new favorite way is that the person says what shape the other person has to draw and if they fail to draw it then you get to draw whatever you want. (This is a great way to practice pentagon, trapezoid, hexagon, etc.)

I was looking through THIS site.

I love these Dali Elephants!
