Face Maker

OBJECT - Make a face using magazine pictures.

GAME TYPE - Art game.

WHO'S IT FOR - Group One and Group Two. You'll need enough people to cover the parts of the face, as listed below. If you have too many people, they can work in pairs or teams.

WHAT YOU NEED - Lots of old magazines, scissors, glue, and 10 sheets of paper.

HOW TO PLAY:
  1. Assign a facial feature to each player or team of players (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, head, possibly neck, facial hair, or jewelry).
  2. Have each player or team flip through the magazines look through their magazines to find their facial feature.
  3. When they find it, they cut it out. (NOTE - Heads should be large, close up photos. The facial features on the head will be covered)
  4. The players should find ten of their assigned facial feature.
  5. Once all the facial features have been cut out, the players glue one onto each sheet of paper. Start with the head, then add the different facial features in any order after that. Facial features do not have to match.
  6. Once all the faces are complete, have the players vote on which one they like the best.

This is not a competition. Everyone is working together to create faces.

THIS WORKS ON - Teamwork (working together to build a face), body concept (recognizing each facial feature and where it goes), artistic ability (being able to cut and paste), fine motor (operating the scissors).
