Recipe for Stove-Top Play Dough:

1 cup of flour
1 cup of warm water
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon oil
1/4 salt
food coloring (optional)

Mix all the ingredients, adding food coloring last.
Stir over medium heat until smooth.
Remove from pan and knead until blended smooth
Place in a plastic bag or airtight container when cooled, store covered in refrigerator. Dough will last for a long time.

No-Cook Oatmeal Play Dough:

1 cup of flour
1 cup of water
2 cups of Oatmeal

Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix well and knead until smooth.
This play dough is not intended to be eaten, but it will not hurt a child who decides to taste it.
Store covered in a refrigerator. This dough doesn't last as long as cooked play dough.

For each group prepare:

About 10 Notecards

To begin this activity, ask students, \"Who has played the game ‘Pictionary?’\"
Ask for volunteers who recognize the game to explain the rules. One person from each team of 2–3 players looks at the word card and draws clues to get their teammate(s) to guess the word. First team to guess correctly wins a point.
Explain to students that we’re putting a new twist on the game. We’ll make play dough and use the dough to make clues, instead of drawing with pencils and paper.
Choose one of the attached recipes—one requires cooking, the other doesn’t.
Divide kids into groups and provide measuring cups, bowls, and ingredients. Use all safety precautions if you are using a stove top or hot plate. Assist when necessary, but allow for groups to make (measuring) mistakes and learn from them.
When dough is ready, divide into teams to play. Each team makes ten word cards, folds them over, and puts a team name or letter on it. All the word cards go in a bowl, cup, or pile. One player from a team picks a card that is not one of their own. The player needs to use the play dough to sculpt a clue to get his or her teammates to guess the word.
Play several rounds. Use a timer to keep the game moving along.
To end this activity, discuss with students asking questions like: What was the most difficult clue to make? The easiest?

Depending on the age of your students, you may want to minimize prep time and focus only on creativity and communication. You may use pre-made or store-bought play dough to simplify the activity.
