You'll need

Directions

  1. Cut large white ovals from white felt.
  2. Cut small blue circles from light blue felt.
  3. Attach the blue circles onto the white ovals with fabric glue to create eyes. Allow to dry.
  4. Use fabric scissors to cut the bottom hem of each t-shirt in a zigzag pattern.
  5. Glue the felt eyes onto the upper center of each shirt using fabric glue. Let dry.
  6. Dress the kids in black pants and long-sleeve black shirts, then put the ghost shirt on top. Now they look like Pac-Man ghosts ready to chase Pac-Man.
  7. Sketch the Pac-Man shape onto a yellow poster board with a pencil and cut it out.
  8. For Ms. Pac-Man, cut a bow and lips from red construction paper and glue them onto the poster board.
  9. Use a black Sharpie to draw Pac-Man's eye. For Ms. Pac-Man, draw her eye and beauty mark.
  10. Punch two holes near the top of each Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man cutout, spaced about 10 inches apart.
  11. Thread a string through both holes and tie a knot to form a necklace. Repeat for the other character.
  12. Wear a black long-sleeve shirt and black pants, then hang the Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man cutout around your neck.
  13. Optional: Cut white circles from white paper and tape them to your sleeves or pant legs.
  14. Optional: For Ms. Pac-Man, add a red bow and cherry earrings. Use black eyeliner to match the drawn eyes and red lipstick to match the lips.
