Question
QUESTION: I'm trying to find out the name of a board game I played in 1979 with 4-5 other adults. The game included a large pencil w/strap to attach to some specific body part and a drawing board with the same type of attachment. One player would spin a large arrow which would point to a body part. Then that person would attach the pencil to that part and draw one card from a deck which would have a picture of what he/she had to draw.  The other player would spin the wheel to see where on their body they would have to attach the drawing board for the other to draw on. An example might be a gal would have the pencil attached to her head while a guy would have the drawing board attached to his waist. Then the gal would do her best to draw the indicated picture while only using her head to control the pencil.

ANSWER: Hi Mark,
Thanks for your great question as this is a truly a delightful game.  The title of the game is 1978 Great Moves game by Hasbro.  If you desire to see a picture of this game, you can copy and paste the following link to the game page at the Boardgamegeek, which is the largest data base for American games.  Here is that link:   http://boardgamegeek.com/image/750614/great-moves   
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
