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.
