Here's a chance for everyone to have fun with tattoos.
Ideal Size
Best for smaller groups because you need to supply enough markers.
Use For
Introductions or an energizer in the classroom or at a meeting.
Time Needed
30-60 minutes.
Materials Needed
White construction paper and enough colored markers for everyone to have access to several colors.
Instructions
Pass the construction paper and markers around, and give your group 10-15 minutes to design their tattoos. “IF” they chose to have a tattoo, what would their tattoo look like? Draw it for us. Since this is obviously for fun, encourage creativity and dreaming big.
Go around the room, have people introduce themselves, show their tattoo, and explain why they chose it and where on their body it would go. Depending on your group, you may need to caution appropriateness here.
Debriefing
None is necessary unless your topic has something to do with art or health, or you’re very good at segues.
