The Drawing Game v.8-21-2009 (1 of 2)

This evening we played a rousing round of The Drawing Game. It's a simple, yet engaging activity that I first played with Ben two or three years ago. Two or more players sit down, each with their own sheet of paper and a pen or pencil (crayons or colored pencils are optional). Every player contributes one word of their choosing, and then all of the players draw pictures based on all of the words contributed during that round. Two players, two words, three players, three words, etc... As you can see below, there is a plenty of room for creativity and individual artistic expression.

Tonight we had four players: Kevin, Lisa, Ben and Josiah.

Round 1: transformers, shrimp, tree, crayon

Ben's Transformer is getting ready to dive behind a “tree” made up of a crayon and a shrimp.

Josiah's Transfomer is standing next to a tree drawn with crayon, shooting a fried shrimp that's lying on the ground.

Lisa's Transformer with tree branch arms capped with shrimp tails, and tree trunk-crayon legs. He's mad because he keeps turning pink.

Kevin's little Crayola (Creole-a?) shrimp sporting crayon legs sits atop a power tranformer just out of reach of the topmost branches of a tree.
