One person describes something. The other draws what they hear. The results are reliably hilarious.
Paper and any drawing tool. Two people minimum.
One person thinks of a simple object: a house, a cat, a bicycle. They describe it step by step without naming it.
The other person draws only what they hear, no peeking at any reference.
Reveal the drawing and the original object at the same time.
Swap roles. The person who drew now describes something.
Both players sit back to back. One describes, one draws. More challenge, funnier results.
60 seconds to describe, 60 seconds to draw. Faster pace, bigger chaos.
Three players. One describes, two draw independently. Compare the results.
Parent tip: Describe using shapes and directions, not object names. "Start with a circle in the middle, then two triangles on top" is the format. It sounds obvious but kids need to hear it once.
Read these after the drawings come out weird. That is the right time.
