Although this idea for a gift for Father's day can be created alone it might be good for the students to plan, design and create this original game together.

This year Fathers Day in Australia is Sunday 2nd September 2007. If you want to do this exercise with the students in your Art class, planning now would be a good idea. Although the project could be the work of one student, it might be good for the students to plan, design and create the game together.

In the same way as suggested for Fathers Day Gift Vouchers Book project begin the exercise by brainstorming with the children about

Work out how many class sessions you have available over the course of the unit

Have the students plan a journey or day that would come about in the course of the hobby or occupation. A “Fishing Trip Game” is being presented here as an example.

Once you have come up with sufficient images to crate a board for the game, divide the illustration work amongst the three students. Don’t try to assemble the game until the end of the process as ideas for the rules of the game should come naturally as the students collaborate.
