Doodle the time away

Intro

Everyone loves a good doodle, whether chatting on the phone or daydreaming in a meeting. But why not plan a doodle session instead to help get the creative juices flowing? Whether sketching out a random pattern, a face or a simple shape, let the pen and the imagination run wild.

This can be a personal activity while sitting quietly for a few moments, or even better with a handful of people using one large sheet of paper for a group doodle. Low background music can be a nice addition to encourage creativity.

Pens (variety of colours)
Blank paper or paper with a patterned template - download resource
Background music (optional)
