* Clipboards w/* Blank Paper

* Drawing Templates- Paper with one shape each, such as a six-pointed star, a snowperson, a spiral . . .

* Have group divide into pairs (or groups of three with one person as an observer) and sit on the floor * Each pairs sits back -to -back.* Give one person in each pair the clipboard and a pencil.* Give the other part of the person in each pair the template of the a shape to be drawn.        

The individual with the template has to get their her partner to draw an exact duplicate of the shape drawn on their her sheet , using only verbal directions.

After they are done, the partners should compare the provided shape with what was drawn.

Have the group perform the activity twice To each pair, you can add with two different templates. * The first time through the exercise the "drawing" one person is not allowed to speak to be the "direction giverobserver." * The second time they are allowed to ask only yes/no questions.* A third timeAfter one round, the drawer can ask any question they likechange roles.

*Another variation would be to allow __Have the pairs to sit face-to-face, howevergroup perform the activity more than once, with different templates.* The first time through the exercise the "direction giverdrawing" person is not allowed to speakto the "direction giver. They must get "* The second time, the person drawer is allowed to draw the shape using ask only visual cuesyes/no questions. Of course you would have to make sure that the direction giver doesn't just hand over * The third time, the templatedrawer can ask any question they like.

* __Allow each pair to sit face-to-face.The "direction giver" is not allowed to speak; he must get the drawer to draw the shape using only visual cues.(But direction giver must know show the template.) __In a large group setting, one person could be the direction giver for ; all the rest of the groupare drawers. No one else is allowed to speak and everyone must as they try to tray draw the shape the direction giver is describing. Afterwards, have everyone compare their drawings. *Print out a "7 errors" game. Give one illustration to one player and the second to the other player. The goal for the team is to compare drawings and find the 7 errors while sitting back to back.''[Teampedia requests clarification of this. If you know this activity, please explain it here.]''

* What was it like to give directions? before they How was it different when the drawer could ask questions, then after.from when she could not?

* Was What was it difficult like not being allowed to ask questions?

* Why are all the pictures different???? Everyone , when everyone heard the same message.?

* Do you think people receive or perceive the same instructions the same? What should/would you do to clarify? What's stopping you from simply asking?* Do you know your teammates well enough in order to communicate effectively to get the same results? * If person x said to the group "ABC" would it be perceived the same as if person y also said the exact same thing"ABC"?
