An idea to try outside
A drawing in turns
One sheet, two ideas and a drawing that changes with each turn. You can do both parts too.
Step by step
- Choose two colours. Each person uses one; if playing alone, change colour each turn.
- Draw a simple shape in the middle. It might be a curved line, a square or a spiral.
- On the next turn, add something without erasing what is there. Leave room for the drawing to grow.
- Keep taking turns until you decide to stop. You could turn a window into a boat or a cloud into a mountain.
- Invent a title. In two corners, draw symbols for each contribution: no real names are needed.
What if we tried something else?
Make another drawing with a different person starting. Or give the same picture two different titles.
A note for the adult with you
Agree on turns before starting. Each participant chooses their contribution; there is no need to correct the drawing or pick a winner.
