Pig Palm Art 

 

Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw a pig? Well you can do this, simply by using the palm of your hand. ✋🐷

To draw your pig:

 

 Place your left hand on the piece of paper with your thumb tucked in similar to the image below

 

Draw round your hand

 Draw a line at the bottom for the face of the pig. Add two horns on either side of your hand drawing.

 

Add an oval in the middle of your pig drawing for the nose and then add two small circles quite close to each other for the pig's nostrils.

 For the eye, draw a line from the nose heading downwards. Draw an oval close to the top of this line similar to the image below.

 

Similar to the eye you have drawn, do the same thing for the other eye to the right of what you have drawn

 

 In the eyes you have drawn, draw an oval in each of them

 

Colour the ovals you have just drawn with a black pen

 Add a line each on both of the eyes for the eyebrows. Add the mouth similar to the image below making sure you add a small oval with two sections in the mouth.

 

Add a small row at the bottom of your pig drawing for the pig's neck

 Colour the face, neck, ears and nose with a pink pen

 

Colour the bottom of the mouth in with a red pen

 Colour the remaining part of the eyes in with a blue pen and the top half of the mouth with a black pen

 You have drawn your own pig palm art

Dots and Boxes Game

 Age Range: 6-11

Equipment needed: A4 sheet of squared paper and two pencils or two different coloured felt tip pens of your choice

Dots and Boxes Game

 

On this blog post, I will be showing a simple but fun 2 player game where the aim is to have the most points. This game only requires 2 items to play and I will be showing a step by step description on how to play the dots and boxes game.

 

To play the dots and boxes game:

 

Start by drawing a grid of dots on your squared piece of paper. You can make the grid of any size but i chose to do a 4x4 grid to show you.

Each player will take it in turns to draw either a vertical or horizontal line on two unmarked dots. As you can see from the image below, player 1 has drawn a pink line. Now it's player 2's turn.

Player 2 has now added a blue line on two unmarked dots.

Player 1 will then take their turn adding another line

 

Back to player 2 to add another line

 

As the game continues, both players will be adding lines on the grid similar to the image below

 

The aim of this game is to try and join the fourth side of a 1x1 box

 

Player 1 has now joined the fourth side of a 1x1 box

 

Due to player 1 now joining the fourth side of the box, they will get a point and will put a 'P' in that box to record the point.

 

Player 1 will now take another turn for winning the last point and they are again able to complete the fourth side of the box and get another point.

 

The game continues and now player 2 has been able to complete the fourth side of a box and gets a point and now as you can see have placed a 'B' to record the point.

 

The game keeps continuing with both players adding lines. Player 1 then adds another point for getting a box.

 

The game ends when no more lines can be placed for both players

 

The player is the person who has the most points

 

The winner in this game is player 1 who has 6 completed boxes compared to player 2's 3

Thanks guys and hope you enjoyed the blog post today. Be sure to leave a comment on how you found playing this game and be sure to check out our some of my other blog posts I have posted. 😊
