Killing Time

Sometimes we sit at college waiting for the next lecture to start and it’s simply boring. So we start playing little games. 

There is the… 

“Lets draw a growing story”-game

One simply starts with a drawing and giving a little info about it (eg this woman’s name is Julie and she’s very sad she’s lost her dog). Then the other one adds another drawing and continues the story in whatever way they like. 

Here’s what came out last time: 

“Speech Bubble”

Draw a little scene and add some speech bubbles. The other one has to fill them in and can add whatever they want. 

“2 min portrait”

Look at someone and draw them. You only have 2–3 min. 

“A piece of Art”

Something like a long term project where many people can take part in. Just add more and more stuff. 

“Draw. Write. Draw. Write.”

About 5–8 people. Everyone needs as many sheets of paper (in a stack) as players. On the first paper: write a sentence. Any sentence. 

Then hand the whole stack to the person next to you (you’ll get the stack from your other neighbour). 

Read the sentence you just got and try to translate it into a picture (2nd piece of paper). 

Hand pile to neighbour. 

On the stack you now get you see a drawing. 

Write down on the next paper, what you see in drawing. 

and so on and so on and so on

Once you’ve all passed your piles of paper around you can have a look at the “evolution” of your drawings and sentences. 

The only rule for all those games: Never mind if your drawing is good or beautiful. It’s not  about how nice something looks. Also it’s much more fun if someone sucks at drawing!
