Pin the Glasses on Arthur Game / Craft Templates

Pin the Glasses on Arthur

"Julie" liked the Pin the Nose on Bob the Tomato idea, but needed something to go with an Arthur themed party.  Hopefully this fits the bill!

You can either use this 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper version OR print it out and take it to your nearest photocopy store.  It costs $3 Cdn for the first copy and $2 for subsequent copies to get an 11 x 17 inch colour blow up made (at least where I live)... B&W copies are about 1/2 that.

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with. 
  
bulletPrint out the template of choice (print as many glasses templates as you need... there are two per page). 
 
bulletColour pieces, as necessary. 
 
bulletCut out the pieces.

HOW TO PLAY:

bulletHang Arthur on a wall in a nice open area.  (be aware of the HEIGHT of your party goers... I'm 6 ft tall, my kids aren't ... you don't want them to have to jump to reach Arthur *grin*). 
 
bulletGive each child a pair of glasses with some stick'um or a masking tape roll on the back (I don't like using real pins).
 
bulletStand 10 big steps back (closer for smaller tikes).
 
bulletBlindfold the children one at a time, spin them around and point them in the direction of Arthur. 
 
bulletThe closest to getting the glasses to fit nicely over the eyes wins! 
 
bulletYou can also have prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, the quickest, the slowest, the furthest away, and the funniest placement... if you come up with enough prizes, everyone can be a winner!

TEMPLATE PRINTING:

bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
    
bulletSet your page margins to zero (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP on most browsers) so the templates print out fully.

Different computers work a bit differently in terms of how they print.  If the first templates don't work for you, try these instead:

I know for sure that WEB TV users will need to use this version
