Demonstrate with a partner, then ask people to work in pairs.

The first person draws just one feature of a face. Rule of thumb: when you lift the pen off the paper, you’ve finished your turn. Work silently, don’t explain what you’ve drawn.

Then partner takes the pen and they draw a feature. Keep going like this for a few turns, each adding a single feature with each turn.

When someone gets the pen and hesitates about what to do, this means the face is finished. So that person now puts down the first letter of the name of this character. Keep adding letters until someone hesitates – when that happens, you’ve finished.

TIme permitting, pairs can do more than one face

This activity highlights what it’s like to co-create – both players have an influence on the outcome, but can’t control it. It’s good practice at accepting what your partner offers and building on it
