DETAILED EXPLANATION:
- After the students receive an A4 size piece of paper, their mission is to draw an animal using ONLY the shapes they learned that day.
- Give the students a time limit. This is a necessity, otherwise they will spend the entire class period drawing the perfect mouse.
VARIATIONS:
- Once all the students finish drawing, have the students show the rest of the class their animal and explain the shapes they used.
- Race to see who can draw an animal using all the shapes learned.
- Instead of animals, have the students draw cartoon characters, monsters, friends, family, famous people, etc.
TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:
- This activity works great as a follow-up lesson to teaching animals.
- Keep this activity between 5-10 minutes or students may become bored.
TIPS/CAUTIONS:
- Sometimes younger students have difficulty choosing an animal to draw. If this should happen, assign them an animal.
