Quick on the Draw

On days when the weather is too bad to go
outside, the fellows at the Triple-R Ranch
look to Spin and Marty to think up some fun
games to play in the bunkbouse. This is the
game they played the last time it rained.
Get your gang together, divide them into two
teams, play it. and see if you don't agree that
it's a real humdinger.

First, decide on a subject to draw, because
the idea of the game is to see which team
can finish its picture faster. The scene shown
here is the one Spin and Marty used, and
they attached two large sheets of wrapping
paper onto the wall with thumbtacks or cello-
phane tape, one for each team>~Now, give

each member of the team certain parts of
the picture to draw. In the picture above,
for example. Spin drew the barn, Moochie
added the silo, etc. If there are more parts
to the picture than players on each team,
the players can take as many turns apiece
as necessary to complete the picture.

The game begins on a given signal. The
first player on each team runs to his paper,
draws the part of the picture assigned to him,
and runs back to give hiB pencil or crayon to
the second player before taking his place at
the end of the line. The second player does the
same, then the third, etc. The team finishing
first is the winner.

MISNAMED MATCH-UPS

Spin and Marty are learning about n^tuie — and
about how man has misnamed some of its beings.
Why not match wits with them by trying to match
up the creatures on the left with their correct iden-
lilicatitfns on the right? To check your answers. tur.T
the pacjf- upside down.
