===Objectives===<br />
Understanding effective communication (it's not always the message you send, it's the message that is received)<br />
<br />
===Group Size===<br />

<br />
===Materials===<br />
3x5 cards<br />
pens/pencils<br />
<br />
===Set Up===<br />
This works best in groups of 8-10, but can go slightly higher or lower. Best if an even number in each group.<br />
If there are 8 people in the group, you will need 8 sets of 8 cards. If you have the time, number each card in each stack 1-8.<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
The rules of Pictionary apply here: no words, no talking, just drawing! Limit time spent on each card to 60-75 seconds.<br />
<ol><li>Each participant '''WRITES''' a sentence on the top card (#1) in their pile (the crazier and more creative, the better!).<br />
<li>Everyone passes their entire stack of cards to the left.<br />
<li>Read the sentence on the card, flip to #2 and '''DRAW''' the sentence you just read.<br />
<li>Everyone passes their entire stack of cards to the left.<br />
<li>Look at the image, flip to card #3 and '''WRITE''' the image you just saw<br />
<P>'''''*Do no flip back through the pile. Only see the card that was passed to you and add on*'''<br />
<li>Continue until you get through the whole group (write, draw, write, draw, etc)<br />
<li>Once you reach the end, have each participant go through their stack and see the progression from the original statement to the final image.<br />
<li>Have each participant share their progression with the group.<br />
<li>If you have more than one group, ask for the most and least accurate to share with the participants at large.</ol><br />
<br />
===Debrief===<br />
What happened to your original sentence?<br><br />
What does this have to do with communication?<br><br />
Who considers themselves an effective communicator?<br><br />
What does that mean?<br><br />
