Instructions

    • 1

      Divide the kids into even teams.

    • 2

      Give each team a notebook, felt-tip pens or crayons, and a list of items to collect or to find and draw.

    • 3

      Limit the game to a room, a building, a park or a playground.

    • 4

      Assign each item a point value.

    • 5

      Make it theme-oriented or random.

    • 6

      Have them find just red items or things that are used by a farmer. Or have them bring an adult's shoe, a candle and a drawing of the tree farthest from the starting point.

    • 7

      Give alternatives for some items. For example, a picture of the house across the street may be worth 1 point, and a drawing of the car parked in front of it could be worth another point.

    • 8

      Stipulate that each team member must draw at least one thing.

    • 9

      Set a time limit.

    • 10

      Tally the points. The team with the most points wins.

    • 11

      Award prizes - candy, a pizza party, a popcorn party or whatever you like.
