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.
- Prepare simple prompts.
- Choose the first artist and show only them the prompt.
- Start a 60-second timer.
- The artist draws without speaking, letters or numbers.
- The first correct guess becomes the next artist or earns a point.
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 teams, themed prompts or easier cards for younger children.
Make it a great round
Use washable materials and protect tables if needed.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
