Silly Creature Game

This is a game for the whole family.  Children, teens,  and adults can all have fun together with this activity.

Take turns saying the name of an item and a part of the body. For example: a balloon head. Then everyone draws a head that looks like a balloon.  This is where the fun and creativity begin. Everyone will envision the item differently. This is good and should be encouraged.  Once everyone has had a turn to name an item, continue until the creature is complete. Look at all of the creatures, notice the differences. This game doesn't have a winner, just a fun game to play together.

Our ideas: 
Round 1: Balloon head, strawberry nose, banana mouth, spiral eyes, flour stem hair, tree trunk neck, strawberry body, carrot arms and hands, Grandfather clock leg, egg leg, and a watermelon foot. 




Round 2: Jewel head, blueberry eye, seed eye, curly hair with eggs on it, leaf nose, upside-down rainbow mouth, double heart neck, flower body, crayon arm, pencil arm, long horse ear with polka dots for a leg, egg with a crack for a foot, and a leaf leg.
