Back Writing

For ages 5-12 years
Writing invisible letters on a child’s back a fun way to write a secret message.

Back Writing

Materials:
Paper & Pencil

Directions:
One person sits with his back to another and a pad of paper and pencil in front of him.

The other person, using his finger, "draws" a letter on the person’s back. At the same time, that person draws on the paper what he thinks is being drawn on his back.

Keep writing letter by letter until a whole message is given. The message could be a clue to where a treat is hidden! Take turns so both the writer and the person written on get to experience what it feels like. Have an older child play this game with a younger sibling as a fun way to help him learn his letters.
