This exercise involves filling 30 circles with as many different drawings as you can in 3 minutes. This is a great way to warm up your creative muscles and get your ideas flowing.
Equipment Needed: Something to draw with, for each person, something to keep time with. Give each participant a 30 Circles worksheet and something to write with. Ask them to turn as many of the circles as possible into a recognizable object in 3 minutes. You can give the example of a sun or a smiling face but give no other instructions.
After 3 minutes, compare the results! Ask how many people filled in 10, 15, 20, or more circles? Ask for some examples. Did participants use patterns (for example, multiple sports balls)? Did anyone “break the rules” and combine circles?
