As the recipient of the David E. Williams 8th
Grade Art Award, you can imagine that I’m a fan of the Draw Something game /
app. Let’s just say that I tend to enjoy playing games after a long day. Maybe
I’m a gamer? I’ve gone from Mario to Oregon Trail to Tetris to Spider Solitaire
to Words with Friends now Draw Something.
If you aren’t familiar with this app, you play a game
against a friend or a random in which you are given three words to draw. Your
opponent can see you drawing the image and then they have to guess the word
which is hidden in a jumble of letters.
A naturally social person, I’m constantly thinking of how
you can bring things that people do online to real life. For this current
obsession sweeping the national, this concept is simple – host a Draw Something
Party.
For this I’m thinking you mix a little Pictionary with a
little Celebrity.
·
Get snacks
·
Buy a large dry erase board and markers
o You
may need an easel for this
·
Invite friends over
·
Have everyone write down three words
·
Put all of the words into a jar
·
Divide the group into two teams
·
Have one “drawer” pick a word from the jar and
draw for their team
·
The team with the most points at the end wins
(duh)
Of course I love a theme, so some other ideas for food,
drinks and decor:
·
Play The Artist in the background
·
I LOVE what Facebook did at South by Southwest –
they brought the Facebook wall to light with white paper that guests could sign
·
As an alternative to the white board, purchase
oversized white easel paper (get the kind with that is sticky at the top).
Place players drawings around the room and vote on the best pic, most creative,
etc. at the end of the night
·
For food, think COLOR – fruits, bold colored
veggies – maybe DIY pizza bar?
Oh and if you are a fan of the game, check
out these AMAZING pics. My naked stick figures are totally embarrassed.
