The Genius of Play

My Mouse

(for ages 5+)

Ingredients:

  • Drawing paper for each child
  • A pencil for each child
  • A die

Prep Time:

  • None

Recipe for Fun!

The goal of the game is to be the first to complete the drawing of a mouse. Each roll of the die enables a particular body part to be drawn as follows:

  • 6 = body
  • 5 = nose
  • 4 = whiskers
  • 3 = eyes
  • 2 = ears
  • 1 = tail

The body must be drawn before the other body parts are added to it, so a player must roll a 6 to start. Once the body has been drawn, the other parts of the mouse can be added in any order. If a child rolls a number related to a part they’ve already added, skip that child’s turn and pass the die to the next player.
