For four weeks in February and March, while everyone was staying safe at home, we teamed up with the City of Mount Pearl to bring you a little extra creative fun for your weekend.
In this video, Lucy, Nicole, and Christine are having a grand time while playing some drawing games.
Why not join in the fun and draw along with them?
You’ll need your imagination, some paper (or a dry-erase board), and something to draw with.
You can use any drawing supplies that you already have at home. Lucy is using markers and paper, Nicole is drawing on a whiteboard, and Christine is using recycled paper and a crayon.
These games are great to play on your own but if you want to draw with other people you can:
1) Write the name of each game on a piece of paper, put the papers in a bowl and have everyone pick one.
2) Get each person to start a drawing and then pass it on to someone else to finish.
3) Start the drawing then mail (or email) it to a friend to finish.
These games are all about having fun with your creativity so don’t worry if a line ends up in the wrong place – just turn that line into something else and keep going!
If you want to have a closer look at what the prompts looked like before we started drawing, you can see a sheet of examples here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15IGE2ZxapZQhyfyNkQivNe-EFRIhtH8x/view?usp=drivesdk
Games like this can be found in lots of places but the book Christine shows in the video is Jeanette Nyberg’s ‘Tangle Art and Drawing Games for Kids.’
