Graffitti

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Here is a fun way to encourage a cooperative classroom, drawing skills, and creative expression. Each child draws a design or shape on his paper, then he rotates to the next child's paper where he adds to the previous design. When the rotations are done, each child uses a cut window to capture and then frame the best part of his collective drawings.
