blank Blank paper- five pieces for each participant.drawing Drawing implements in a variety of colors- preferably crayons. Crayons can encourage playfulness in people who may be timid about drawing.table Table and chairs.
[[File:DrawingFun2.jpg|thumbnail| Note that the participants in this game decided that the person drawing the legs and feet should also add some kind of "ground."]]
===Set Up===
Assure people that only preschool-level primitive drawing skills are necessary.
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:
top section is for top of the head to the bottom of the neck second section down is for the bottom of the neck to the waist - including the arms and hands third section down if for the waist to the knees fourth (bottom ) section is for the knees to the bottom of the feetDemonstrate simple drawing on each section. Encourage the use of colors, fun, and even fanatasyfantasy.Examples: a A head can be of a clown/a simple smiley face/or a giraffe/ or a monster with horns . . shoulder Shoulder-to -waist can be of Superman/ or a stick figure/ or a barrel with arms . . waist Waist-to -knees can be a ballerina skirt, or a pair of shorts . . .knees Knees-to -feet can have skinny legs and huge feet, or stockings and high heels, or 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, and hence where the next drawing should begin.

===Directions===
Have each person fold a piece of paper and draw the tio top (head) section.
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===
Paper If people are intimidated at first by the idea of drawing, call it "scribbling," and show a variety of examples that show that amateurism can be in five sectionsdelightful.  Drawings can be about a theme, e.g., a mascot of the company or project mascot. The figure can have more or fewer sections, with the corresponding number of sections folded on the paper, depending on the number of artists for each drawing.
