Get set up
Gather the required materials: Paper or whiteboard and drawing tools. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Split into teams and give each a drawing surface.
- Choose the first artist from each team.
- Give artists a prompt and start the timer.
- Teammates guess while the artist draws without letters or numbers.
- After a correct guess, rotate to a new artist and prompt.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use themed prompts or a fixed number of successful drawings instead of a timer.
Make it a great round
Use washable materials and keep markers away from walls and furniture.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
