The Drawing Game

So, you are eating out and it is taking for-e-ver to get your food.
With some crayons and paper, you have a fun game ready to play.


 To start the game, player #1 draws a head- it can be round, square, triangle, oval...
the first drawer chooses. That player then passes the drawing to the player next his/her right.


Each player gets a chance, in turn, to add one body part or accessory
of their choosing, and then passes the drawing to the next player.

Only one part per turn- if the player makes an eye, it is just one eye.
If it is eye lashes- just one side.

The game continues until the drawing is deemed complete.
Those are our rules, you can make your own.

As part of our "family fun" week, we treated ourselves to breakfast out, and created these fantastic masterpieces while waiting for our food. ;) Meals out are a dwindling luxury around here with how much it costs, but this game can be played around the table when camping, at a picnic... anywhere you'd like.


*Adding a note/disclaimer:

I inserted the red directions clarify the (our) rules. Also, this game is similar to "Pick and Draw" (which my family loves!)-you can note the influence of that game by the shape of some of the body parts.

You can read our post on Pick and Draw along with some variations on it that we play here.

    Oh, Lori! I just love that idea. I think...a long time ago...I had done this, but completely forgot about it. We don't go out that much either save for special occasions.

    This is just like a card game we have at home. Here's my review of it. http://ourhomeschoolreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/pick-and-draw-review-and-giveaway.html So neat that you created your own. We love to play this together. Thanks for stopping by my weekly wrap up

Our Morning Time

Look at me writing 2 posts so close together!! So... I have loved listening to the podcasts on morning time called "Your Morning Basket". I have listened to all of them. Very inspiring! They are all worthwhile to listen to, but I have to tell you that episode #2 with Andrew Pudewa is a game changer (in the homeschool sense). We have had our own variations on morning time in our house. When my girls were younger (they are now 31, 30, 28 and 22 years old), we had "seat work time" and "couch time". I'd say that couch time was our version of what is now being called morning time. For the most part, we read historical fiction, discussed history (I would either read from or discuss from a text), learned a little geography, read the bible, had prayer time, and had some pretty fun discussions. There was a transition when my now 28 year old became sort of a teachers helper for her younger sister. I remember working on art appreciation with her at the h...

Week in Review: February 1-5 2016

Image
Lots of baby care around here as the boys' big sister (our second daughter, Jessica) was having her fifth baby. It was a week full of sword fighting, cuddles, disney movies, books, and coloring. It's also been a week full of colds. The 2 year old twins had a cold, which I assume James caught from them (although every one in the world seems to have it, so not necessarily). The problem is that no matter how many times I caution the boys, who can resist cuddling with a sweet little toddler who does not feel well? I guess germs are meant to be shared. In the way of school, we have been in "keep up" mode. Paul's strongest focus is on his Dave Ramsey finance class (which I highly recommend), his Spanish class, and his economics course. http://www.daveramsey.com/store/search.ep?keyWords=homeschool http://www.livinglanguage.com/languagelab/spanish  (I cannot recommend this highly enough. The books and cds make it easy to open and go. Additionally, the...

Din-spiration Part 6

Image
This is sort of a lighthearted post, but I am going to start by saying that all those in Paris and the World are in my prayers. There are never words when something so unspeakable happens. As it has been pointed out, it happens far more often that we usually hear about in places that are more obscure to most of us. I'm going to continue with this planned post as most of us still have "normal life" to attend to and families to feed amidst this very stressful backdrop. To keep myself accountable, I was going to keep up posting about my crusade to eat at home. I have failed the last few weeks, but the resolve to eat at home has not! The great thing is that on the days when resolve wanes in me, my husband picks it up. He is often the one to encourage me that he can stop by and pick up an ingredient I forgot, or to step in and create a dish himself. He chose make us a Lasagna last week- for me, that is a more involved dinner than I will take on a week day. Rather than...
