Activities and games

• 1. Telephone Pictionary
• This is an interesting game that will spark the creativity in your child while encouraging them to write. The game is more fun with a larger number of players.
• How To Play
• Each player writes a sentence on the sheet and passes the sheet anti-clockwise.
• The players now draw what the previous player has described in a sentence and fold the top of the sheet down so that only their drawing is seen.
• The sheet is passed to the left again.
• The players now write a sentence describing the drawing and fold the sheet such that only their sentence is seen.
• The sheet gets passed around in the same manner until there is no room for writing or drawing on the sheet.
• Open the sheets and compare original sentences with final drawings and have fun laughing at the transformation.
