| Cartoon It! |
The object of Cartoon It! is to look at a character card for 30 seconds, turn it over so you can't see it, and draw the six features with the aid of the feature board. The six features are head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and extra (bow tie, flower, scarf, etc.). This game is fun. |

The game includes a score pad and pencils, and your finished result may look something like this.

| Bottom: Character cards. Top: Drawings of character cards. |
Although it is not about making perfect drawings, playing Cartoon It! will take the ability to at least rough sketch. If you are keeping score, a point is given for each correct feature you remember and draw, and a tie-breaker point is given to the person who finishes drawing first.
If you would like to read more about games that require writing or drawing in some form, check out my post Games That Require a Writing Tool.
Try this:
- Turn over the character card after studying it and present the feature board. For individuals who can't draw, allow them to speak or point to the correct feature in each category.
- Start by looking at a card and requiring the individual to remember only one feature, such as the eyes. Ask him to point them out on the board. After he is good at this, then remember two features, then three, etc.
- Discuss the features out loud as you are looking at the card, such as he has pointed ears and he's wearing a hat, to aid in memory.
- Use a white board (to save paper) after you run out of the drawing sheets provided.
- Work on visual memory, visual closure, visual discrimination,
spatial relations, executive functioning skills, manual
dexterity, functional grasp, precise fine motor control, tool use, eye-hand
coordination, socialization skills, executive functioning skills, process skills, play exploration and
participation
