The grandkids spent last week up at Grandma and Grandpa’s for their annual summer kids’ camp. They had a lot of fun and took some great pictures of a few activities they did. One set was of a game I LOVED to play when I was young….the drawing-random-bodyparts-that-become-monsters game! (as awesome a name as that is, trifold game is easier to say \ud83d\ude09 for 2+ participants)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Please meet Steve, Mr. T Man, and Bob!<\/p>\n Easy, requires a pen and paper, and fun for kids of all ages – what more could you ask for in an activity? We’re also thinking of trying this with an alien theme to get ideas for our next book \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s the how-to:<\/p>\n 1. everyone gets a piece of paper<\/p>\n 2. draw a head and NECK on your sheet of paper (*the neck is important)<\/p>\n 3. Fold your paper so only the neck sticks out<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Pass your paper to the next person (we usually pass to the right to start and it gets more creative the more rounds we do)<\/p>\n 5. Draw a body and legs on the paper you just received (don’t forget the legs and to leave room for feet!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. After you fold and leave the legs sticking out, pass it the same way you did before<\/p>\n 7. Draw feet! (as many feet as there are legs \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n 8. We like to return it to the person who drew the head before we unveil … drum roll please!<\/p>\n 9. After the ensuing giggles, naming the critters is an important step, you don’t want to send them out into the world without a name!<\/p>\n 10. …and last, but not least, head out to the relaxation station with Grandpa to cool down after all that hard work. Phew!<\/p>\n![\"photo](\"http:\/\/sitwithakid.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/photo-6.jpg\")
