One player describes a picture in words only, the other draws it without ever looking across. Holding the two sheets side by side at the end is the funniest part.

What you need

  • Two sheets of paper
  • Two pencils
  • A stack of books to act as a screen

How to play

  1. Stand a pile of books between you so neither sheet can be seen.
  2. Draw a simple picture of five shapes on your sheet without saying a word.
  3. Describe it in words only, without ever naming the whole object.
  4. Let the other player ask questions, but looking across is not allowed.
  5. Take the screen away and hold the two sheets side by side.
  6. Swap roles and try to explain more clearly this time.
