Equipment: A person will need a fair amount of blank copy/printer paper (10-20) and roughly 3
boxes of crayons/color pencils.
Activity Description: This activity is meant to be used with children ages 6-12 and the number
of participants range from 10-16 but 20 is also fine, it is not recommended to exceed that
number. The number of participants should always be even because they will need to be paired in
groups of 2 towards the end of the activity. When beginning the activity the facilitator will
distribute the copy/printer paper to the participants, each participant will receive one piece of
paper. After everyone has received a piece of paper the rules will be explained. Everyone must
draw something they like, it could be anything and it does not have to be perfect, just drawn to
the best of your ability. The crayons/color pencils will then be distributed and everyone will be
given 6 minutes to draw their masterpiece. After the 6 minutes are up all the art work will be
passed to the facilitator. The art work will then be passed down and one by one each participant
will have a chance to pick one drawing they like that is not theirs. Once everyone has a drawing
that belongs to someone else they will have to find their correspondent artist and the participants
will then complement each others work by stating 2 things they like about the other artists work.
Three groups will be chosen to tell everyone why they liked the other artists work.
Leadership Considerations: It is preferred that participants remain seated while engaging in the
activity and the facilitator be standing in front of them making sure everything is going smoothly.

This activity can be adapted for children with intellectual disabilities and Asperger syndrome. To
adapt both developmental disabilities the participants can be given more time to draw, the
facilitator can perform the activity by showing something they drew and having another
facilitator comment on it, providing a wider variety of colors, and extra facilitators can be
present to help the children in choosing something to draw and helping them create their
masterpiece as well.
