===Objectives===
Fun, ice-breaking, getting to know each other, idea-generation . . .
===Group Size===
===Materials===
blank paper- five pieces for each participant.
drawing implements in a variety of colors- preferably crayons(crayons encourage people timid about drawing to be more playful).
table and chairs
Each team sits around a table close enough to be able to talk with each other.
Distribute paper, and place crayons where everyone can reach them.
Demonstrate folding a piece of paper as "accordion" - back and forth, into 4 sections.
Show that each section of the paper is to be for a section of the body:
Demonstrate simple drawing on each section. Encourage the use of colors, fun, and even fanatasy.
Examples: a head can be of a clown/a simple smiley face/a giraffe/ a monster with horns . . shoulder to waist can be of Superman/ a stick figure/ a barrel with arms . .
waist to knees can be a ballerina skirt, a pair of shorts . . .
knees to feet can have skinny legs and huge feet, stockings and high heels, horse's legs and hooves . .
At the bottom of each section, extend short marks onto the next (as-yet blank) section down, to indicate where the neck, waist, or knees were placed.
Make sure the paper is folded so that your drawing is hidden.
When everyone is ready with one section, have all pass their papers to the person on their right.
Now draw the next section of body on the next part of the paper. Repeat until each drawing is complete.
===Debrief===
Together, give each creation a name.
Display on a bulletin board.
===Alternatives===
If people are intimidated at first by the idea of drawing, call it "scribbling," show a variety of examples that show that amateurism can be delightful.Paper can be in five sections.
Drawings can be about a theme, e.g., a company or project mascot.
