INSTRUCTIONS

Each participant will receive a stack of paper which they will use to create a story by alternating between writing and drawing.

Don’t worry about your artistic abilities, you won’t be graded on it

Don’t look at any of the other sheets in your stack of papers.

Most importantly...

Have fun!Created by Humor That Workshttp://www.humorthatworks.com


#1 – THE STARTING SENTENCE

On the top sheet of paper, write a sentence or phrase. It can be your favorite or least favorite cliché, advice your mother gave you, a memorable line from a movie, or for real team-building magic, a line that describes your personality.

Example:


“Hindsight is 20/20”


#2 – THE FIRST DRAWING

Now, pass the stack of papers to the person to your left.

Read the sentence passed to you, move it to the back of the stack, and draw a visual interpretation of that sentence.



#3 – THE REMAINING PANELS

Pass the stack of papers to the person to your left.

With the new stack, look at the picture and write down your text interpretation of that image. Do NOT look at the original sentence.

Repeat these steps, passing to the left, until the stack of paper gets back to the original owners.


“Eyes in the back of your head.”

“No more talking for you!”


#4 – PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

Spread out all of the sheets of paper in order and see if you can tell some type of story with the sentences and images.

Share good stories or the best / worst interpretations with the rest of the people at your table.


“Hindsight is 20/20”

“Eyes in the back of your head.”

“No more talking for you!”
