The object of the game is to fill in a template story with your own characters, descriptions and actions. This is a similar game to the head, body, and legs game but for slightly older children. The other person then uses that line to create a picture and has to incorporate it somehow. One person draws a line on a piece of paper this doesn’t have to be a straight line, it can be curvy, looping, long, short etc. Not only is this a great game but it is also a way to help develop little ones imaginations (or help older ones rediscover theirs) and get them thinking out of the box. You can see the black line was the original mark made. It is kind of like Chinese whispers but with drawing rather than words. If you have more than 2 players then add them to the line of people, so that player 1 is drawing onto player 2’s back, who then draws it onto player 3’s back etc. When they have finished player 2 then has to recreate that picture on the piece of paper with their eyes shut. Player 1 stands behind player 2 and draws a picture on their back. Play is over when all of one player’s ships have been sunk. Make sure to mark down any hits and misses. The top row is marked 1-10, the left side column is marked A-J.īoth player outlines their ships on their grid the game goes on just like the board game.Įach player takes it in turn to guess the other player’s coordinates. Start by making 2 grids that are sectioned 11 by 11. The object is to “hit” your opponent’s ships on their grid by trying to guess where they are hiding. So once upon a time this famous board game was actually a pen and paper game. Points are awarded for each answer as long as another player hasn’t also written it.Īt the end the person with the most points win. Once the timer has run out stop, even if you haven’t finished filling in all the categories. For example if you had M as your letter you could come up with Matthew, Matilda, Monaco, Milk, Motorbike, Maths, Microbiologist. I used to play this game a lot while working for Disney Cruise Line, we actually played it as a team game, but it works just as well with single players.Īt the beginning of each round think of a letter, then set a timer for 1-2 minutes and try to come up with something for each category. Once everyone is finished you can reveal your finished work of art.
Pass it on again so that the next person can draw the legs. Once that is completed fold it over again so that just the top of the legs are showing. Pass the piece of paper to another person who then draws the body. When they are done, fold the head over so that just the neck part is showing.
Heads, Bodies, and Legs 3+ years / 2+ playersĮach player begins by drawing a head in the top 3 rd of a piece of paper without letting the other players see.
The winner is the person with most initialled boxes. If you managed to complete the 4 th side to a box then add your initial on the inside. The aim of the game is to make as many boxes as possible, without letting the other player get them. Lines can either be horizontal or vertical, NOT diagonal. 10 by 10 dots.Įach player takes it in turns to draw 1 line between two adjacent dots. To play you need to make a square array of dots i.e. A friend and I recently went to Hong Kong Disneyland and we played a game that lasted about 15 minutes because I refused to give up looking for the best place to make my move. Now this is my favourite pen and paper game! I have been playing this one since I was about 6 and I have always been really good at it. My charges have been playing this game since they were about 4 and 5. Noughts and Crosses 4+ years / 2 playersĪ firm favourite pen and paper game for a lot of families. To win player 2 must guess the missing word(s) before the hanged man is completed. If they guess correctly player 1 writes the letter on the corresponding dash. The other person then tries to guess what letters are in it. They then draw dashes to represent each letter of the word(s). Player 1 thinks of a word, a title of something, or a saying. Make sure you follow my activity board on Pinterest for more ideas, and don’t forget to save the pin for later. Here are my top 10 favourites (in no particular order): I have made many busy bags over the years, but sometimes nothing can beat some good old-fashioned pen and paper games.
