TELEPHONE PICTIONARY

Each person will get a stack of 10 index

cards.

On the top index card write a sentence or

phrase.

Ex: “People love cheese.”

When I say PASS you will then pass your

stack of index cards to your left.

On the back of the index card draw a

picture of the phrase you have in front

of you.

Ex:

Pass index card stack to your left again

with picture facing up. On blank index

card write what you think the picture is

saying.

We will keep going till you get back to

your original statement.

DO NOT LOOK AT ORIGINAL

STATEMENT

Remember when writing statement

always use new card. Pictures go on

back of used card.
