Roll a Frankenstein

Items Needed:

• Green, black, and white construction paper
• Roll-a-Frankenstein printable

• Scissors
• Dice

Directions:

Print out the Roll-a-Frankenstein game printable. We pre-cut the eyes, bolts, scars, mouth, mouth stitches, spiky hair and green face. For the face, just fold the green construction paper in half and cut, it creates the perfect size. The kids can then take turns rolling to see who will finish building their Frankenstein first. The kids can play the game a couple of times then glue their Frankenstein together.
