Drawing games
Thirty-second portraits
Everyone draws the person opposite in thirty seconds, without looking at the paper. Then the gallery opens.

How to play
- Pair up and sit facing each other.
- Start a 30-second timer; draw your partner while looking only at them, never at the page.
- Swap partners and repeat a few times.
- Stick the portraits on a wall and let people find themselves.
Office tip: A good warm-up for a workshop: it is impossible to be good at, so nobody worries about it.
