Surrealist Games

Of the many Surrealist games that exist I find the Exquisite Corpse to be the most interesting one out there and appropriate for all ages.  It not only is fun but can be a great exercise to use as a beginning of the year ice breaker allowing students to become more comfortable working with one another. The range of imaginative results are never ending and can help show students that we all are capable of being creative.

Although I am not a big fan of Wikipedia because anyone can alter the content I did find a few interesting examples there as well as a simple explanation of how the activity is done.

Below is a video example of how an Exquisite Corpse can be done as well as a television interview with an artist on the topic.
