How to play:

Have two people sit back-to-back. Person A has an object and must describe it (without explicitly saying what the object is) to person B. Person B must then draw it based on person A’s description.

This game is effective for finding new ways to communicate around barriers. It also helps build problem-solving skills and effective communication strategies.

For larger groups, make it a competition by deciding which team created the most accurate drawing in a set amount of time.
