Drawing Games

The following drawing games are usually with the guests either placing a sheet of paper on top of their head and drawing it as instructed, or by placing the paper on their lap and drawing the picture with their eyes closed. Remember to tell the guests that they must be honest and promise not to peek.

Let's Travel To A Hawaiian Island

Give everyone a piece of paper, and tell your guests to close their eyes and imagine that you are on a Hawaiian Island.

1. First, draw an island in the middle of your paper.
2. Then to the left of your island, draw a ship.
3. Your island is surrounded by water, so please put some fish in the sea.
4. This is Hawaii, so put a palm tree on the island.
5. Its a nice day, so put some birds in the air.
6. That ship didn't get there by itself, so put a sailor in the ship.
7. He might get hungary, so draw some coconuts on the palm tree.
8. Sailors like to see where they are going, so put some portholes on the ship.
9. Sailors like entertainment, so draw a hula dancer on the island.
10. Its a sunny day, so put the sun in the sky.

Now open your eyes and how does it look.

Now if your island is in the middle, give yourself ten points.
If your ship is to the left of the island, but not touching, give yourself ten points.
If you have more than two fish, give yourself fifteen points.
If the base of the palm tree is on the island, give yourself twenty points.
If you have more than two birds in the air, give yourself twenty points.
If your sailor is on the ship, not swimming, give yourself twenty points.
If there are any coconuts on the tree, give yourself fifteen points.
If your portholes are on the ship, give yourself twenty points.
If your hula dancer is on the island and not touching water, give yourself twenty points.
Now if the sun is....
To the left, give yourself twenty points.
If it is to the right, give yourself fifteen points.
And if your sun is in the middle, give yourself ten points.

Now add your points up and the guest with the highest score will win a special prize. A perfect score is 165.


Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Instructions: Give each guest a sheet of paper and have the guests follow instructions. Tell the guests they must draw the following items with their eyes closed. Please no peeking!

Draw a circle (the body).
Draw a smaller circle (the head).
Draw his left leg.
Now draw his right arm.
Draw his nose on the head.
Draw his boot on his left leg.
Now draw his right leg.
He needs to see, so draw his eyes.
Now draw a sack beside Santa.
Now draw his beard.
Draw his boot on his right leg, then draw his left arm.
Now draw some presents in the sack.
Its very cold outside, Santa needs his gloves on his hands and a hat on his head.

(When reading these directions, just don't read it. Say things like "Santa's left foot is cold--give him a boot or Santa needs a present to give--put one in his sack, etc. Just have fun!)

Points:
10 points if Santa's legs are in the right place.
15 points if Santa's nose is on his head.
20 points if Santa's boots are on his legs.
25 points if you put eyes on the head.
30 points for Santa's sack.
35 points if Santa's gloves are on his hands.
40 points if the presents are in his sack.
40 points for both arms attached.
50 points if Santa's beard is on his face.
75 points if Santa's hat is in its proper place.

Now total the points and award a gift to the guest with the highest score. For scoring, you can even have them give their paper to the person next to them (that way there is no arguing about points).
