GHOST DRAWING GAME
This roll and draw ghost game is the perfect mix of creativity, learning, and spooky fun. Children roll a dice to decide which features to add to their ghost, making each drawing unique and sometimes a bit silly. Each child will take 4 turns rolling the dice to determine what body, eyes, mouth and accessories their ghost will have.
This game sparks imagination, but also supports important skills like number recognition, turn-taking, fine motor practice, and following directions. As well as giving children lots of opportunities to get creative as they draw each feature.
The game is a complete game of chance and there's no winners or losers so children can just focus on having fun and getting creative. If your children like this game then I also have a roll a ghost game with cut & paste templates which is great for practicing scissor skills.
What you'll need:
- White paper
- Game template
- Pens & pencils
- Dice
The best part about this ghost drawing game is that there's minimal supplies needed. Simply print off a copy of the game template, grab a pencil and a dice and you're good to go. You can use any dice you like, we used one of these foam dice which are great for young kids and come in bulk for classrooms.
