Presidents Day Hat Game
Need a President’s Day hat project for your February art bulletin board? Imagine your hallway decorated with these Uncle Sam top hats and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, top hat template, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art.
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game to design their Uncle Sam top hat drawing myself! Kids can also choose patterns using the ‘you pick’ worksheet or digital spinners—whatever works best for you!
Plus, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan creative President’s Day activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!
What’s Included
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this art project. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Uncle Sam Hat template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
- 2 Writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
- 2 Coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
- Helpful Tips & Tricks handout with teacher directions to help guide the lesson
- Step by Step Video Tutorial, with optional captions
