MONSTER DRAWING GAME
This roll and draw a monster game is the perfect mix of creativity, learning, and spooky fun. Children roll a dice to decide which features to add to their monster, making each drawing unique and sometimes a bit silly. Each child will take 4 turns rolling the dice to determine what body, eyes, nose and mouth their monster 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. It can also be done alone as a quiet time activity, or as part of a group. If your children like this game they'll also love our roll and draw a ghost game and roll and draw a jack-o-lantern game.
I also have cut and paste roll a dice games for jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and monsters in my Etsy store which have the added benefit of practicing scissor skills.
