Instructions

FACE TO FACE MEETINGS
> Split into pairs, and give each pair two pens and four pieces of paper.
> Each pair should sit back to back.
> Everyone should draw a simple picture, keeping it a secret from their partner.
> Each pair should choose one person to be the first communicator — the other will be the artist.
> > Once they’ve had a go, pairs will swap roles, so everyone will get a chance to be the communicator and the artist.
> The artist should get their other (blank) sheet of paper, and their pen.
> The communicator should describe the picture they drew in small chunks. They can’t say what they’ve drawn; they should only describe how to draw it.
> > For example, the communicator can’t say ‘draw a window’ but they could say ‘draw a square, and then put a cross in the middle of it’.
> The artist should follow the communicator's instructions, and draw a copy of the communicator’s picture.
> The artist can ask up to three questions, to check that they have understood the communicator’s instructions.
> Once the artist has finished following the communicator’s instructions, they should swap roles and play again.
> Once the pairs have completed both drawings, they should compare the original drawings to the artists’ copies. How similar are the pictures?

SOCIAL DISTANCE ADJUSTMENTS
> Instead of working in pairs, get stuck in virtually as one big group: one person should describe their picture and everyone else should draw it. The person who described their picture could choose who drew it best to decide who goes next
> Once everyone’s had a turn, chat about communication, listening, and working together towards a goal.
