Instructions

  1. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 120809 p1

    Take a sheet of paper, any size, and fold it into 4 equal parts.

  2. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 120846 p2

    Fold it into itself so that you only see the top part. If it helps you can number the parts on the top right hand corner of each fold. PARTS 1-4

  3. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 120946 p3

    The first person should draw a head on PART 1 and leave a neck line on PART 2.

  4. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 121031 p4

    Now pass the paper to the next person. He or she should draw a body middle on PART 2 and leave a body continuation line on PART 3.

  5. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 121429 p5a

    Pass the paper to the next person and now add legs to PART 3 and leave leg continuation lines on PART 4.

  6. Small 107016 2f2015 01 22 121513 p5

    Finally without looking at any of the other drawings!, the next person will draw the rest of the legs and feet. Open to reveal your strange person or creature. When you draw try to vary your subjects to get more surprising results. You can draw mythical creatures, animals, objects, vegetables, add wings instead of arms, or a piece of fruit for a head. There are no rules!
