Sit together and take turns drawing each other's portraits — no artistic talent required. The funny results, commentary, and shared laughter make this a wonderfully bonding indoor activity.

The Essentials

  • Start with basic shapes to map out proportions before adding detail
  • Use a mirror or photo reference so family members can draw themselves
  • Encourage loose, expressive lines rather than aiming for perfect realism
  • Set a relaxed time limit so it stays fun, not stressful
  • Display everyone's portraits together to compare different styles
