Group students into pairs. Use a strip of fabric to loop one of each child's hands together. Give each pair of students a large piece of paper and invite each student to choose a drawing utensil such as colored chalk, paint, crayons, markers, and so on. Encourage each pair to work together, using their free hands to create a piece of art. Display students' artwork and remind them that teamwork can accomplish great things.
