Summer Roll and Draw Directed Drawing Game Summer Art Activity Dice Drawing

This Summer Roll and Draw directed drawing game turns art class into an interactive drawing challenge. Students roll a dice to decide each feature of their drawing, then build their artwork step by step, so every drawing turns out different.

The booklet includes summer drawings of starfish, summer drinks, suns, watermelons, cold treats, fruit, cacti, clams, beach buckets and seagulls, each with four drawing steps decided by the dice. It suits elementary classrooms, homeschool, art centers, early finishers and end-of-year art lessons, and students can play again and again for new designs.

They can use pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils or paint.

Use it as a whole-class drawing activity, an art center, a sketchbook prompt, an early finisher activity, sub plans, or a seasonal summer or end-of-year lesson. Prep it once and reuse it year after year.
