Line game for kindergarten and 1st grade
I wasn't sure how this game would work with my kiddos but it has been a great success. I used to create games like this when I was a classroom teacher for students' sight words and math facts, so why not for art?!
You need the game board I created above, a dry erase marker, dice, baby wash cloth (to wipe the boards when the game is over) and a basket. I bought the dice and baby wash cloths at the Dollar Tree. I laminated the game board with my personal laminator since the lamination seems to be stronger then the schools.
Students used a piece of 12" x 18" white drawing paper, markers and crayons to create their art.
Have them roll a dice into a basket. If they don't they usually roll off the tables and under a cabinet. Save your sanity and have them roll the dice in a basket!
I have the students mark at the top of the game board each roll and then they count down the column and circle what line they land on. They have to tell their group the name of the line and then the whole table draws the line they landed on.
The last step was to use the side of a crayon and rub colors all over their papers. This is a great lesson for subs.
