Describing Scenes
The setup
Make a simple barrier between the two players so they can’t see each other’s work. Another option is to work back to back. Each person has a piece of paper and the same set of colored pencils, crayons, or pens.
One person draws shapes (such as circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles) in colors and groups in distinctive positions on their paper. That person then gives directions for the other person to follow to make the identical drawing.
At the end, the barrier is removed and the two drawings are compared (usually with lots of laughter). The players compare ideas on which spoken directions worked and which did not.
Variation
This can be a 3D activity if each player has the same set of stackable items (such as Lego bricks). In this case, one player makes a stack in some interesting way and then gives a sequence of directions to the other player.
