- 1–5
- Time
- about 30 minutes
- Kids practice
- attention to detail, planning, visual memory
What kids do
“Draw it twice, but change five small things. Can a friend spot them all?”
- Picture A
- Picture B (5 changes)
- The differences (fold under!)
How to run it
- Keep the scene simple: a house, a tree, a character.
- Finish Picture A first, then copy it carefully.
- Small changes are trickier: a missing button, a different stripe.
Talk about it
- Which difference was found last?
- What makes a difference hard to see?
- How did you copy carefully?
Take it further
Make it ten differences.
