Or Catch the Jerk

To prepare for this game, first cut a large oval out of flannel. Glue it onto whatman paper or a large piece of thick dark paper. Draw hair around the oval and attach a bow tie at the bottom. Then cut out eyes, nose, ears and mouth from colorful flannel. If you wish, you can also cut out eyebrows, a pipe and a hat.

Attach a piece of paper with a flannel oval to the wall at the child’s eye level. Take turns blindfolding the children and let them attach one part of their face to the oval. The flannel should stick to the flannel on its own, but if necessary, you can use loops of velcro tape on the back of the face pieces.

The funny face that will result from this procedure will certainly cause a lot of laughter. When the game is over, leave this face hanging on the wall. Perhaps one of the children will want to continue the experiment.
