Exquisite Corpse Collaborative Creativity Game with Cardboard Boxes

The Exquisite Corpse Game is a collaborative game made popular by the surrealist artists in the 1920s. Each artist makes a contribution to the piece of art resulting in a creative collaboration.

This lesson is a variation of this game using 12 x 12 x 12 inch cardboard boxes. Students are assigned a HEAD, MIDDLE, or LEGS of a figure to create on one side of the box.

The boxes are stacked and spun to make multiple combinations. This lesson takes you through all the steps for drawing, painting, managing, and displaying the final product.

Here is what you'll find:

• What is an exquisite corpse
• Materials list (paint supplies and boxes like this)
• Warm up game (printable)
• Worksheet for developing ideas (printable)
• Management Strategies (photos from my classroom)
• Displaying strategies
• Signage (printable labels for finished art)
• Math Problem (have students calculate how many combinations possible)

This lesson was developed to meet the the National Core Arts Standards of creating, presenting, responding, and connecting.
