Line/Circle:
On a sheet of paper, print 2 lines and a circle and ask the students to create pictures using the circle and lines. This activity challenges the students to think creatively and you can also have them share their pictures for a few minutes at the end. You can also tailor the activity to upcoming events or holidays, such as creating a Halloween picture from the lines and the circle.
