Picture This!

Category: Group Game   Recommended Ages: 9 and up   Recommended # of people: 5 or more   Required Materials: piece of paper and pencil for each player

How To Play:  Have everyone sit in a circle with a piece of paper and a pencil.  Ask everyone to write a sentence about anything. Once done, everyone then passes their paper to the person on the  right of them.  That person must now draw a picture of the sentence.  After they are done they must fold the paper over so that the original sentence is covered and pass it to the person on their right.  This person must now try to rewrite the original sentence just by looking at the drawing.  Then folds over the picture and has the next person draw a picture of the sentence they have just received.  Keep going until you have passed to 5 people(depending on group size).  Once you are done unfold the piece of paper and share all the different sentences and pictures everyone came up with.

Comments/Suggestions: This can be a pretty long game but the longer you go the funnier it becomes.

looks pretty neat.. does the paper size have to be pretty big?  seems like the game works well for a small group but not as a meeting icebreaker for a big group.
THanks for sharing it!

Hi Hojin!
 Thanks for commenting on my game. To answer your question you can just use your standard size paper. But if you would like please feel free to use what you think would work best for your group.  I wouldn't recommend this game for a big group but one you might want to try is 4 corners..i'll add that as a new topic. 

Thanks!
