Magazines, paper, glue, scissors, crayons.
Tell each person to page through a magazine and find a large picture with few words on it. Cut the large picture out without letting others see it. Then choose a smaller section of your picture (about ¼ the size of the original) and cut that out. Again, don't let others see your picture. Keeping your original large picture (now with a missing piece) face down, exchange the small section of your pictures. When you receive a small section of someone else's picture, turn it over and glue it to the center of a white piece of paper. Your task is to use crayons to draw a full picture based on the small picture glued to the center of your page. For example, if you see part of a house in the picture, you might try to imagine and draw the rest of the house including the yard that surrounds it. When done, ask everyone to share what they have drawn. Then turn over the original picture and compare it to what you drew.
How close was your drawing to the original picture? What clues in the picture helped you? What clues in the picture misdirected you? When your family is faced with making a decision, how can gathering more information help you make better choices?
