I played this game with a group of kids yesterday and they totally loved it. All you need is a die, blank paper and pencils. We did it with the snowman topic, but it can be played with other topics as well.
The goal of the game is that the children should draw a complete snowman. BUT it's not that easy.
They have to role the die and are only allowed to draw one part at a time. For example
nk emoticoThey have to role the die and are only allowed to draw one part at a time. For example1 = body1= head
2 = eyes
3 = nose
4 = mouth
5 = arms
6 = hat
Now one child throws the die and lands on 3, so the child is allowed to draw a nose (even though nothing else is on the paper yet, not even the body). Next time the child throws the die again and it lands on 5, it's allowed to draw the arms. If it lands again on a 3 - no drawing.
The child who is able to finish his or her snowman first, wins. There can be some pretty funny drawings later on, since some of the proportions may be quite off, especially when the children are still very small. But the more fun it is ;)

At the end of the lesson they were allowed to decorate it with cotton and glitter.
