Resources

Coloured pens or pencils
A4 paper

Instructions

The person leading the activity should split the group into pairs. If there is an odd number of people, the person leading the activity can be in one of the pairs. In each pair, one person should be ‘A’ and the other ‘B'.

Everyone should sit back-to-back with their pair. Make sure that person B has paper and some coloured pens or pencils.

The person leading the activity should ask the person A in each group to think of an object or feature in or around the meeting place.

Person A should try to describe the object or feature to person B, without saying what it is. Person B should try to draw the object or feature from the description.

When finished, everyone should pass their picture to another pair. The other pair should try to guess what the object or feature was from the drawing.

The person leading the activity should explain to the group that some people have sensory differences and see the world differently. Use the example of autism to show how these differences aren’t always obvious and explain how autistic people may see, hear and feel things in a way that can make life difficult.
