Location
indoors

Age
A mixed age activity that can be played equally and enjoyed by anyone of any age.

Ability
A simple game suitable for everyone to play. A complete newcomer to playing beetle will within minutes be playing with equall chance of winning with the most regular of players.

Description
The idea is to draw a beetle, the body parts being awarded by throwing in turn a dice. The numbers on the dice correspond to which part of the beetle you can draw. You cannot draw in legs or the tail unless there is a body and you cannot draw in the feelers or the eyes unless there is a head. So if you throw a number that you cannot use because there is no body or you already have two eyes or whatever, you lose your turn.

Dedication
Thus; a 6 is for the body. a 5 for the head. a 4 for the tail (these beetles have tails) a 3 for each of four legs a 2 for each of two feelers a 1 for each of two eyes The first person to complete the beetle is the winner.
