How to do Collaborative Doodles (like these)

To do collaborative doodles you'll need a group of people in the same place for an hour or more... a meeting is a great place to do these. For these drawings each person will need a sharpie and fine line coloured marker, along with a piece of bright coloured card stock (these are 5.5 x 5.5" square). Of course any drawing tools (and paper) will work for this, bit it's more interesting if each person uses a different colour. We also really like using coloured paper. 

Here's what to do:
1) Draw a bunch of random dots on a card with a black sharpie for a minute or so, then pass that card along to your neighbour.
2) The next person should used their fine line marker to connect some of the dots (for a minute or so), then pass that drawing along to their neighbour.
3) After that everyone should keep doodling on the card they have until the meeting is over (although we think it's fun to keep switching drawings from time to time).

Recent (scientific!) research suggests that doodling is a great way to stay focused and concentrate!

Have fun!
