THE DRAWING GAME
THE DRAWING GAME Mrs Smith, a third grade teacher wanted the class to play a game where one pupil starts drawing on the board then, one by one, other pupils add to it. She thinks about the game and decides not to start with Johnny Spinosi because he is so naughty and always has some "unusual" picture in mind. She instead decides to start with Jane. Jane goes up to the chalk board and says: Jane: "This is a house" /\ / \ / \ / \ I I I I I I I I The teacher replies, "Good, Jane!" and asks Peter to draw next.
