My Own Guess Who Game

I wanted to make my own Guess Who game because there were not enough girls in the game. This is how I did it.

First, I measured how big the cards inside the rack were. And then I made gridlines that same size on a piece of paper. Then I drew 24 faces inside my grid. I also wrote a name for each face. My mom scanned my pictures and printed out three color copies on cardstock. One was for the red game rack, one was for the blue game rack, and one set was for picking up the cards. We cut apart the squares and put them inside the game racks.

Tips -- Don't let there be a single person with a unique characteristic. For example, at first Brandon was bald. Then I realized there was no other bald person. So I quickly grabbed the black marker and gave him hair. But then I realized that he actually had a brown beard!

Tip -- Be sure to color clearly and dark so that the scanner can pick up everything. For example, Lily's red lips did not show up.

We played it, and it worked beautifully!

That was a good idea! I love to play that game when we go to my friend's house (we don't own it) but I never thought of making my own people!

After reading about this . . . I thought about it some more on my ride home from school. And came up with idea: You could even make your own version without people.

Like what about Christmas trees--star or no star on top, different colors of ornaments, different number of ornaments, different styles or types of ornaments, or even different number of presents under tree. And, I am sure you could think of more.

Same thing with Easter eggs for Easter time. Or what about a hamster version or a cat version of the game too?

Your mom is so smart. When I first saw the photos on flickr before you wrote about them, I thought you had to draw each person three times!!

Again, great idea!! I LOVE IT!!

Thats a great idea! because with this game, I too have noticed that there are fewer girls and fewer people with blue eyes! It's silly =) They should balance it more!
