Exquisite Corpse is an Art game started by the Surrealists in the 1940s. In groups of 4-5, artists would fold pieces of paper into equal parts and take turns to draw parts of a body. After each part was drawn, it would be passed on to the next Artist to continue the drawing.

Note that some lines from your drawing should always bleed over into the next part (i.e. over the fold line) so that the next drawing partner will know how to continue the image.
