Fold-and-Draw Monsters
A secret drawing game: fold a sheet of paper into three parts, and everyone draws without peeking at the rest—first the head, then the body, then the legs. Unfold together, and a wacky half-princess, half-dinosaur creature appears! All that's left is to give it a name and invent its story.

Step by step
- Fold paper sheets into three sections, and give a pencil to each player.
- Everyone draws WITHOUT showing, then folds to hide their drawing.
- Draw a head, extend two little neck lines just past the fold, fold it back, and pass it to your neighbor.
- Draw the body (with little guide lines past the fold), then the legs and feet.
- Unfold together on the count of three: giggles guaranteed as the funny creatures appear.
- Give each monster a name, invent its life, hang up a mini gallery, or try 4 sections for older kids.
