Blind Draw Activity

In blind draw activity, the team has to instruct their “artist” to draw an item. They have to describe their chosen item without revealing what it is and they are not able to see what the “artist” is drawing.

Each team appoints a member to be the “artist” and the “artist” is then separated from the rest of the group. The remaining members select an item from those provided by the facilitator and will instruct the “artist” to draw it without saying what the item is.

There is a time limit of 3 minutes for the drawing to be completed. Each flipchart is positioned to face away from the group so that they cannot see what the “artist” is drawing.

Get each team to appoint their “artist” who is then separated from the group. Each team selects an item from those provided.

At the end of the activity, all the images are revealed. The team whose drawing is closest to the actual item they chose wins the game.

This activity is great for promoting communication skills. While it seems like an easy task, the team’s one-way communication with their “artist” must be accurate.

It may be useful to run this activity in two rounds; after the first round, the team will realize how important it is to be detailed in their instructions.

Challenge the teams to do better in the second round!
