37 drawing prompts for friends

With these prompts everyone draws the same person from your group, and then you pick the best piece. No drawing skill required: the worst drawings usually collect the most votes.

Wherever it says “name”, put in your friend’s name. In the game Which of Us everyone draws right on top of that friend’s selfie.

The game is currently in Latvian; an English version is in progress.

On paper. Pick the star, read the prompt and give everyone a minute. Then shuffle the sheets, lay them out on the table and vote for the best without knowing who drew it.

In the game. In Which of Us you draw with a finger on your friend’s selfie. Every vote for your drawing is worth 50 points, and the most votes earn 100 more.

Draw and guess. One person picks a word from the list below and draws it; the rest guess. Whoever guesses first draws the next word.
