GAMES

Squares

  • To play you need to make a square of dots (10 by 10 dots).

  • Each player takes turns to draw 1 line between two adjacent dots. Lines can either be horizontal or vertical, NOT diagonal.

  • The goal of the game is to make as many boxes as possible, without letting the other player get them. If you managed to complete the 4th side to a box then add your initial on the inside.

  • The winner is the person with most initialed boxes.

Doddles

  • 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..

  • The other person then uses that line to create a picture and has to incorporate it somehow.

Mystery Animal

  • Players fold their paper into four, so that the folds run widthways.

  • On the top panel, they draw an animal’s head — a bird, a lion, crocodile, etc.

  • Players fold their handiwork so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person on their left.

  • Players then draw the top parts of an animal’s body, and again pass on the piece of paper.

  • Then the legs of the body. Fold the paper and pass to the next player.

  • Then the feet are added by the next player.

  • Players open the folded paper to reveal the ‘mystery animal’

Tic-Tac-Toe

  • The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row first is the winner.

Fortune Teller Game

  • To play, begin with the thumb and index fingers of each hand in the four pockets of the fortune teller. Have the person whose fortune is being read pick one of the colors on the top four flaps.

  • If the color is Blue, spell out the letters of blue while alternating a pinching and pulling motion with the teller. Each pinch will expose four of the numbers on the inner flaps, and each pull will expose the other four numbers. After spelling out B-L-U-E, the teller will be showing one of the sets of four numbers.

  • The other player will then pick one of those numbers, and the responding action is the alternating pinch and pull from the first round, except it continues with a counting of the number instead of the spelling of the color. Once the number has been counted, four numbers will be exposed. After one is picked, the discussion question under that number is read.

  • Partners should take turns playing and answering the goal-setting questions.
