fun remote activity- collaborative drawing

This activity is intended to get people quickly working together with a set goal with a focus on fun, teams are formed to draw an animal or object together within a collaboration tool, with the limitations of time, working on one part each and communicating only via chat or within the collaboration tool itself.

Prep:

Decide roughly how may teams, aiming for teams of 5/6. Form some canvases via your remote tool of choice, giving people a space to draw in. Something like:

Add the rules next to the canvases:

• This is a silent activity
• Work with your team to draw the animal
• You can only work on one body part each (Body part= Leg, Arm, Head, torso, tail, etc).

1- Ask attendees to name some animals, be it be adding stickies to your chosen board or via your video calling chat function.

2- Form teams per canvas- eg For two teams, first named people A-M, N- Z.

3- Read through the rules and ensure everyone understands the rules/constraints.

4- Start a timer for 4 minutes. Watch the fun.

5- Ask people to vote for their favoured creation.
