How it works
Press Roll a drawing and this page picks a creature, its eyes, a mouth, arms, legs and one extra from a 6 by 6 chart. A roll might be a snowman with three eyes in a row, two crab claws and a cape. Every option starts with its die face, so a table with a real die plays from the same chart. Open See the chart to read it.

Run a round from one phone
Give everyone paper and a pencil, then press Roll a drawing. Six rows fill at once: the creature, then its eyes, mouth, arms, legs and one extra. Read them out one at a time and wait until the pencils stop before you read the next. On a laptop the space bar rolls again. If the table loves the robot but wants new legs, tap the round arrows on the Legs row. Only that part changes. To keep a row through the next roll, tap its padlock first.
The rules with a real die, and a party round
With a real die, open See the chart and roll six times. The first roll picks the creature, the second the eyes, and so on down the chart. The number you roll is the number that starts the option. Nobody guesses anything and nobody loses. House options: every player rolls a drawing of their own and you compare at the end. For a party round, everyone draws from the same roll and the table votes for the funniest result by pointing. With a big group, pass the paper after each part so six hands build one creature.
The printed chart and what the phone keeps
All 36 options are listed under the tool in six lists, in die order, and each one has a line that says how to draw it. Print the chart puts the chart on one page for a table with a real die. Print 30 drawings makes a sheet of thirty different rolls to cut into strips, one per player. Save keeps a roll under Saved, History holds your last 20, and Share copies a link that opens on the same six parts. The drawing of the day is the same for everyone who visits that day.
- Lock the creature to match the season: snowmen in December, jack-o'-lanterns in October. Print the sheet and every strip is a different snowman.
- For kids who cannot read yet, read the how-to line from the list as well: a crab claw is a circle with a slice cut out.
- Add a seventh roll for color with a real die: 1 red, 2 orange, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 blue, 6 purple. That crayon colors the body.
- Set a sand timer for two minutes a drawing. A short clock stops the erasing and keeps the lines bold and silly.
Questions and answers
How many different drawings can it roll?
There are six options in each of six rows, and any option can land with any other, so the chart holds 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 46,656 different creatures. Each row deals all six of its options before it repeats one, so six rolls in a row bring six different creatures. Even when two players get the same roll, no two kids draw it the same way.
What ages is roll and draw for?
The chart is written for ages five to ten: short phrases, shapes a child already knows and nothing scary. The monster is lumpy, not frightening, and the jack-o'-lantern is a smiling pumpkin. Younger kids can play with an adult reading each part aloud. Teens and adults enjoy the party round, where everyone draws the same roll and the differences are the joke.
Do we need dice?
No. One press picks all six parts, so a group with no dice plays from one phone. The page picks at random and does not show a rolling die. If you would rather roll a real one, open See the chart and roll once for each row. What you roll on the table matches what the screen would say.
Can I print the chart?
Yes. Press Print the chart for one page: the six parts down the side, die faces 1 to 6 across the top, and room to draw. Print 30 drawings gives a sheet of thirty finished rolls for a table with no dice.
Does the page store anything about the players?
It asks for no names and nothing is typed. Saved rolls and your history of twenty are kept in the browser you are using, so they are still there tomorrow on the same phone, and they are not sent anywhere. A shared link carries only the six parts of that one roll.
