Instructions

1. Tell the Guides that you will give them verbal instructions on drawing an object, one step at a time. For example, you might give them instructions like:
- Draw a square measuring five inches on each side.
- Draw a circle within the square, such that it fits exactly in the middle of the square.
- Intersect two lines through the circle, dividing the circle into four equal parts.
2. As the exercise continues, it will get progressively harder; one misstep could mean that every following instruction is misinterpreted or misapplied.
3. Participants will need to listen carefully to ensure their drawing comes out accurately.
4. Once the instructions have all been read, compare drawings and discuss.
5. For added engagement, decide in advance on what the finished product is supposed to represent (e.g. a spiderweb, a house, a tree).
