How to Play the Drawing Game--Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

My Grandma Patricia, loves to play this type of game,  In fact, if I recall correctly, I learned how to play it at her and Grandpa Richard’s house with all my teen-aged aunties and uncles.  I loved this game as a kid because I loved to draw.  I don’t know what Grandma Patricia called it, but I call it “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.”

This fun game for all ages requires paper and a pencil for each person.



Give each player a piece of paper and have them fold the paper paper in thirds crosswise (hamburger).

 Have players draw a head on the top fold of the paper.  Have them give their head a first name

Turn the paper to the middle fold.  Mark where the neck should be.

Each player passes their paper to the player at their left.  Each player draws a torso on their new page.  Give the torso a middle name.

Turn the paper to the bottom fold.  Mark where the legs should be.

Each player passes their paper to the player at their left.  Each player draws legs on their new page.  Give the legs a last name.

Each player passes their paper to the player at their left.  Everyone opens their paper to see the silly person you all made.

Keep passing papers till everyone has seen every silly person drawn.
