A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 3 min to gather · 11 min to play · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • A pile of sticks
  • Leaves and stones for extra details

Let's begin

Four simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. One person secretly chooses something to make: a house, a sun, a fish, a cat.

  2. They lay sticks on the ground to make the picture.

  3. Together

    Everyone else guesses what it is.

  4. The right guesser makes the next one.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
