Monster Workshop

I use this icebreaker to get my illustration students to loosen up and interact with one another at the beginning of a lesson.

Participants collage their own monster onto an empty page by copying, pasting, rotating and resizing ‘monster parts’ (fragments which I uploaded as PNGs).

The monster parts are duplicated in case a participant accidentally forgets to copy an element.

Background elements are locked (only monster parts are movable).

Participants have the option of building a scene together below if they're feeling adventurous.

Icebreaker drawing exercises FAQs

What are some good drawing topics for an icebreaker?

Drawing icebreakers are a great way to get people active, engaged, and familiar with your Miro board. The topics for collaborative drawings can vary, depending on how you want people to interact. If you are looking to bring some energy at the beginning of your meeting, ask people to draw answers to proposed questions and to draw themselves as a way to replace the traditional introductory round. Suppose you are already familiar with your team or your audience, in that case, collaborative drawings are a great way to make reflections, and one famous exercise is to ask people to create a masterpiece together.
