Children have to pay more attention to what they are doing in an art class. And while they learn how to do that, they can have a little fun too, with these games. Pass the sheets around for three or four rounds and see the result.
It could be a collaborative masterpiece for all you know. With this game, everyone can be a mad hatter. The game encourages creativity using mundane things, or even things considered useless. You will need: Hats of different shapes and sizes, stickers, decorative paper and pins, old scraps of fabric. Write numbers one to 40 on slips of paper and put it in a bag. Pick the numbers randomly to play bingo. Students have to mark the corresponding words, and one who marks all the words first wins.
This is an engaging art activity that you can try at beginner level or even advanced art classes. The game works well with kids who can draw human shapes and combine two shapes to form a new one.
This game also promotes coordination and teamwork! Students stand in a circle and join hands with the person next to them. The objective of the game is to communicate with team members and pass the hula hoop around the circle without letting go.
Have students close their eyes or blindfold them for more difficulty, or divide the class into two teams and race. Tie the strings around the rubber band and divide your class up into small groups of six or whichever number words best.
Each student holds one string and has to help their team stack the cups into a pyramid by using the rubber bands to grab the cups. Remember — no hands allowed, so students will have to communicate and work together to complete the task.
