MATERIALS
- A long sheet of paper
- Pens or pencils for each player
HOW TO PLAY
1
The first player draws a small section of a figure, such as a head, at the top of the paper, then folds it over to hide most of the drawing, leaving only a few connecting lines visible.
2
Pass the folded paper to the next player, who continues the figure from the visible lines without seeing what came before.
3
Continue passing and folding through several body sections, like a torso, legs, and feet, with each player only seeing the previous connecting lines.
4
Once all sections are complete, unfold the entire paper to reveal the combined, often absurd, figure.
5
Compare the surprising final result as a group, or repeat for several rounds to create a small gallery.
