Autumn Symbols Drawing Game
If you have an artistically-inclined kid, it's important to find fun ways for her to cultivate her talents. With all of the focus on academic subjects, your child might not get very many opportunities to put her artistic abilities to good use. This fall-themed drawing game is a great way to introduce your child to some of the important symbols of the fall season, and it'll give her an opportunity to practice her drawing skills at the same time. Your child might already be familiar with all of these autumn items, but if there are any your child doesn't know, have your child look them up!

What You Need:
- Posterboard
- Ruler
- Markers
- Pencil
- Dictionary
What You Do:
- Using the marker and the ruler, help your child draw a grid on top of the poster board that divides it into 10 different sections.
- Then take over duties and, using the marker, write the following sentences across the top of each compartment. Only write one sentence in each section, making sure to leave a lot of empty space below each sentence:
- Can you draw a turkey?
- Can you draw a rake?
- Can you draw a pumpkin?
- Can you draw a leaf?
- Can you draw a cornucopia?
- Can you draw a cornstalk?
- Can you draw a leafless tree?
- Can you draw a scarecrow?
- Can you draw a hay bale?
- Can you draw a gourd?
- To play the game, your child must begin by reading the sentence in the first compartment aloud.
- Next, they'll need to figure out what the sentence is asking your child to draw. Have your child use a dictionary to look up any unfamiliar words.
- Then, using the pencil, your child should draw whatever the sentence is asking in the available space. (For example, if your child is in the "Can you draw a turkey?" box, they should try and draw a turkey.)
- Have your child keep playing until they successfully make it through each box.
