The Snowman Draw Game!

 The students were eager to have another go at this On Demand Writing Game where they get instant feedback on the importance of descriptive language and adjectives!  Here's how you play:


Step #1: Draw a snowman, complete with background and plenty of colors.

Step #2: Describe your snowman and scenery with adjectives that tell size, shape, color, and number.  Make sure your writing can be read!  Don't leave out a single detail, because....

Step #3: Trade papers, and draw your partner's snowman as they try to draw yours!

Winners were voted on by the class.  Enjoy this amazing artwork and writing!


    The traditional style snowman is resting on a flat-styoe slightly rounded hill about a fourth above the bottom of the paper.  It is very slightly to the left of the paper.

    His smallest ball, the head, has a back top hat shorter than his head.  This hat, if doubled, could reach the top of the paper.  It intercepts a small bit of the forehead with a black rim.  The hat itself is also black.  An orange carrot nose extends from the middle of the head to the end of the eye on the reader's left.  The eyes are half-circles to depict a cheerful expression.  They are inked in a regular blue.  Just below the nose, a smile with four dots, the length of the nose, is drawn right under it.  The head is outlined in black.

    The first body ball is one and a half times larger than the head.  A red and green scarf goes from the readers' left to their right.  It begins red and ends green, totaling six sections.  Slanting upwards is another different portion of the scarf, beginning green and ending up halving the fourth color red.  From that portion's second color (red) on is another portion.  It is stark red.  It ends with red, totalling three sections.  Directly beneath the scarf is an inked blue button.  After twcie the button's height is another, and then a third.  

    The last ball is just a bigger ball.

    The background is white, with a yellow sun in the upper right corner.  There are ten rays around it.  It is in a circle.  The height of the green tree is the same as the last ball.  It is draw in an easy arrow fashion.  Slightly shorter than it, to the reader's left, is a tree drawn similarly.  It's to the alignment of the sun.  In a "v" pattern are three birds on the reader's left.
Vivian's (5th grade) writing was so clear and easy to follow, that Allison (5th grade) could draw this twin scene!

    My snowman is not any regular snowman.  My snowman is well, a snowcone.  My snowman's cone is blue with 18 dark blue snowflakes.

    His mouth has seven small round black dots forming his smile.  His nose is medium sized, pointing to his right.  He has two big black circular eyes above his nose.  On the top of his head he has a small red cherry with a long green stem.

    Back to his cone.  His cone is triangular, light blue, and has 18 dark blue snowflakes scattered around his cone.

    My snowman is on top of a big green hill in front of the blue sky.  There are two purple spikey flowers with green stems beside him.  The weather is clear and bright.  My snowman looks very happy.

What a creative snowman, Audrey!  (5th grade).  Caitlin (4th grade) read carefully and drew this match!
