* 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 pair 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.

*Another variation would ObserverTo each pair, you can add one person to be the observer. After one round, change roles. * ProgressionHave the group perform the activity more than once, with different templates.* The first time through the exercise the "drawing" person is not allowed to speak to allow the pairs "direction giver."* The second time, the drawer is allowed to ask only yes/no questions.* The third time, the drawer can ask any question they like. * Face-to-FaceAllow each pair to sit face-to-face, however, the . The "direction giver" is not allowed to speak. They nor to show the template; she must get the person drawer to draw recreate the shape template using only visual cues. Of course you would have  * One "Direction-Giver"In a large group setting, one person could be the direction giver; all the rest are drawers.No one else is allowed to make sure that speak as they try to draw the shape the direction giver doesnis describing.Afterwards, have everyone compare their drawings. * Seven ErrorsPrepare two illustrations that are the same except for seven minor differences. For example, one shows a man with a moustache, in the other picture, that person does not have a moustache. One picture shows a bee above a flower. In the other picture, the flower is there without the bee.Divide the group into pairs. Each pair sits back-to-back. Give each person in each pair a different of the picture. Each person is allowed to see only their own version. Each pair works together to discover the differences between their versions. They work on this by each one describing their picture to their partner.'t just hand over '[Teampedia thanks John Donovan for clarifying this version of the templateactivity.]''
