The Riddle-A-Draw Game

Bored at home with kids during this lockdown? Wondering how to make your children’s time more productive? Here’s a cool game we tried out as a family which involved thinking and drawing – a fun combination!

Things you need:
Color Crayons
Paper
Pencils
Ruler
Marker (optional)

The game first involves drawing 15 to 20 equal squares on a sheet of paper.

Then begin the game by reading out a question and giving the child 5 minutes to draw and color after guessing what the object is. Once done, move on to the next question till you complete all the squares. Its fun trying to guess the answers and you also end up learning something new.
This game is good for children and for a family and can even be made to work for a group of friends at a party.
