This game involves pairing up. Each pair should sit back-to-back in such a way that they cannot
see each other.

Give one member a picture, object or a scene. They must then describe this to their partner without using obvious words (for example, the picture may be of a chicken but the person is not permitted to use the word “chicken, bird, hen” etc. It may work better if you provide a list of the words they cannot use. The other person has to draw the object that is being described.

You can either give every pair the same picture or have a few different options.

Depending on the picture, you will need to allow 10-15 minutes. Once the time is up, share the pictures – you will find there are some very funny interpretations!

Variations:

• Sit in a circle and rotate people mid-drawing (so people must complete
  someone else’s picture)
• Turn the lights off so the person must draw in the dark

This game is also a lesson in communication and how easily our messages can be misinterpreted.
