Both children and adults can enjoy re-creating the actual Jumanji game board as a piece of art. Use an old rectangular board game box and cover it either with brown construction paper or brown paint. Allow all paint or glue to dry before painting the black circle at the game's center. Follow images of the game from the film to re-create the rest of the board, including the spiraling yellow game path and the four ovals at each corner of the game, all of which contain a different game aspect, such as "Bargaining for Time." Paint "Jumanji" at the top of the game board and green jungle leaf accents around the box border.
Use polymer clay to create the jungle creatures of Jumanji, such as the monkeys that take over the kitchen, bats that fly from the fireplace and herds of rhinos, zebras and elephants that come stampeding through hallways. Paint the clay when you are finished molding in the animal's corresponding colors. Create them as stand-alone pieces or draw images on paper to match the animal's activities, such as drawing a hallway image from the film on a piece of card stock or the fireplace from which the bats emerged.
Find an old cardboard cutout, if possible, or shape cardboard pieces to create "The Hunter" from the film. Cut and mold as necessary if using a cardboard cutout of another character. The hunter wears an outfit typical of the turn of the century English big game hunter including cropped tan pants with black boots, a tan double-breasted hunting jacket and pith helmet. A black belt and long hunting rifle complete the outfit. Dress your cutout in actual clothes and prop gun or paint clothes on for use at a costume party or Halloween haunt.
Additional art activities for "Jumanji" include re-creating stills from the film using watercolor or oil paints, or charcoal sketches. Ideas include the image of Robin Williams' character Daniel stuck in the hardwood floor or the image of the lion roaring on the bed. The book's cover is another image to recreate -- a black and white picture of two monkeys on a kitchen table with the little girl in the film opening the door to find them there.
