A simple and playful way to connect - grab some paper and take turns drawing each other! Expect giggles, wonky lines, and some unexpectedly great (or hilariously bad) art.

Draw each other's portrait

There’s something delightful about sitting face-to-face and sketching someone you know. Whether you’re drawing with a child, a partner, or a friend, this activity invites playfulness and creativity. Use crayons, markers, or whatever you have on hand—there’s no need for artistic skills!

Materials


Play


  • Sit facing your child, partner, or friend with your drawing materials, then take turns drawing each other’s portrait. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just have fun! For an extra challenge, set a timer (e.g., 1-minute speed portraits) or try drawing without lifting the pencil. Once finished, share your drawings and enjoy the reactions!

Extend


  • Blind drawing: Try drawing each other without looking at your paper! Keep your eyes on the person you’re drawing and let your hand move freely—expect hilarious results.

  • Story portraits: After drawing, make up a funny or imaginative backstory about the person in the portrait - who are they, what’s their secret talent, or what adventure are they about to go on?

  • Emotion portraits: Instead of a regular portrait, draw each other making different exaggerated facial expressions (happy, surprised, grumpy, silly, etc.).
