Christmas games don't often produce much more than an afternoon of hilarity and arguments. Yet these funny/crazy/quirky drawings came from playing Beetle with my family and Grandparents over the Christmas Holidays.
Beetle, if you have never played it (do!) is essentially a game of chance. You don't need anything to play except a dice and pen and paper. You decide between yourselves which numbers on the dice signify which body parts of the beetle. So here 1=Head 2=Body 3=Feeler 4=Eye 5=Wing and 6=Leg (one leg per 6 thrown, not one 6 for all the legs! (Grandma)).
You have to get a 1 (Head) to start and then you fill in the beetle as you go round throwing the dice in turn.
I love these drawings, they are crammed full of character mostly because they are half finished and the way you draw them (I got lots of legs before I got a body-dilemma). Mum and dad both overlapped the head and body to make very upset-looking beetles. Mine looks like road-kill.
Antlers/Dazed and Confused
Legs are all on the bottom- beetle wearing a hula skirt, looks like it walks upright on all its legs.
Whoo!
My favourite (Grandmas) French/devil-bat - very jiggly.
