Magic Pencil Game for Kids!

Our final activity in our "Back to School" preschool@home theme is this: A fun & simple activity using a box of pencils!

Supplies:

• About 20-30 pencils
• Permanent marker
• Cup

Prep Work:

• Take out all the pencils and choose one (or 2, or more depending on how you want to do it).
• Color a dot on top of the eraser with a permanent marker.
• Place all the pencils (including the one with the dot on the eraser) in a cup and get ready to play!

How to Play!

These ideas can be adapted to however many kids you have. With a group of kids you might want to have more than one pencil with a dot, so more people get a turn:

• Sit everyone in a circle and pass the cup around.
• Everyone takes a turn choosing a pencil.
• Whoever chooses the "magical pencil" (the one with the dot) gets to do something magical. Here are some ideas:
• Everyone in the circle gives that person a hug
• That person gets to say their favorite color, or food, or toy, etc.
• That person gets to jump up and down 10 times
• That person gets to run to run around the circle and sit back down

Whatever the "magical" reward is, 

have FUN!
