Draw Each Other In
Two Playful Ways
CATEGORY: Creativity
TIMEFRAME: 10–20 minutes
PEOPLE: 2
LOCATION: Inside or Outside
MODE: Dialogue
PURPOSE
This exercise invites playfulness, laughter, and creativity. By changing the usual rules of drawing, the focus shifts away from doing it well and toward enjoying the moment. Letting go of perfection often opens space for spontaneity, humor, and a lighter connection with each other.
INSTRUCTIONS
• Preparation:
Sit facing each other with paper and a pencil. Make sure the other person cannot see what you are drawing while you work.
• First Round:
Draw the other person without lifting the pencil from the paper. Let the line move freely as you follow the shapes you see. Do not worry about accuracy. Spend about 3–5 minutes drawing.
• Second Round:
Now draw the other person again, but this time do not look at the paper while drawing. Keep your eyes on the person you are drawing and allow your hand to move across the page. Spend another 3–5 minutes drawing.
• Sharing:
When both drawings are finished, show them to each other. Take a moment to enjoy the results and notice what the drawings captured.
Us In Our Own
Superhero Story
CATEGORY: Creativity
TIMEFRAME: 10–15 minutes
PEOPLE: 2
LOCATION: Inside or Outside
MODE: Dialogue
PURPOSE
This playful drawing exercise invites imagination, humor, and a light perspective on yourselves as a couple. By creating an imaginary character together, creativity and laughter take the lead rather than trying to make something meaningful or serious.
Sometimes playful imagination can reveal unexpected things about how we see ourselves together.
INSTRUCTIONS
• Preparation:
Sit together with paper and pencils.
• Create your character:
Together invent and draw a funny or imaginative character that represents you as a couple in a playful way.
Give the character:
• a special feature (for example a hat, wings, a cape, animal ears, a cat companion, or something else funny)
• one special ability or superpower
• one weakness or limitation
• a name
The drawing does not need to be beautiful. The goal is simply to have fun.
• Share your ideas:
As you draw, talk about what your character can do and what makes it unique.
For example:
What is its superpower?
What makes it a little bit ridiculous?
How does it deal with challenges?
• Enjoy the result:
When you are finished, take a moment to look at your character together and enjoy the playful story you created.
Guess The Memory
CATEGORY: Creativity
TIMEFRAME: 10–15 minutes
PEOPLE: 2
LOCATION: Inside or Outside
MODE: Dialogue
PURPOSE
This playful drawing game combines creativity, memory, and laughter. By drawing shared moments or events from each other’s lives, the exercise invites lightness while reconnecting with memories you both know.
The focus is not on drawing well, but on enjoying the process of guessing, remembering, and being surprised by how simple sketches can represent meaningful moments.
INSTRUCTIONS
• Preparation:
Sit together with paper and pencils.
• Choose a memory:
One person silently chooses a memory that both of you know about. This could be something you experienced together as a couple, or an event from the other person’s life that you both know about.
• Start drawing:
Begin drawing the memory without speaking. The other person watches and tries to guess what the drawing represents.
They may guess as many times as they like while the drawing continues.
• Switch roles:
When the memory has been guessed, switch roles and repeat the exercise with a new memory.
You can play several rounds and enjoy the creativity, laughter, and memories that appear along the way.
