Guess My Art

[15 Minutes]

Here's a little book guessing game you can play anywhere!

You'll need:

• pencil • paper

What to do:

1. Think of a favorite book you know that your family and friends have enjoyed too.
2. Do not tell them the title from the book.
3. Use the paper and pencil to begin drawing a character from the book. For example, if you chose the book, "Days with Frog and Toad", you could draw either a frog or toad.
4. Draw only one small part of the character.
5. Stop and ask the other players to guess who you are drawing and the book from which the character comes.
6. If they are unable to guess correctly, draw another small part of the character and have them guess again.
7. If they still can’t guess, you might tell them the name of the book.
8. Players take turns trying to be the first to guess who you are drawing and that character’s book title.
