To Art History Game for Kids to play the game.
One of the ways you can meet art standards is blending them with other lessons. Art History and Language Arts are one way to do this. Even very young children can learn about color, line, texture, space, and shape through an introduction to the art of well known artists. Art History lends itself to games that are useful in teaching.
We will start with a game that will help you understand how to write and talk about art. You don't need to write anything down, or submit the exercise. Please don't. Just read through it a time or two. At the end of the game, you will find a lesson resource for Family Activities from a famous art museum. Have fun!

Art Can Help Children Learn Their Alphabet
Kids love to create cartoons
from letters. You can create simple
cartoon templates that children can use to create a cartoon from
their first name initial or a list of vocabulary words. Or children
can create their own designs. You can also create collages from the
letters. Use precut large letters. Children can then paste pictures
or items that begin with that particular letter onto the large precut
letter. Use one letter of the alphabet for each child. Laminate each
letter. Create a bulletin board after you finish. You can also use
the name game song to create a rhyme about their song and ask them to
create a drawing or construction paper 3 D design that relates to it.
