Blind Drawing is an exercise in communication and interpretation. It highlights how differently people give and receive instructions, which is a valuable lesson for any team. Beyond the team-building aspect, the resulting drawings are usually wildly inaccurate and hilarious, making it a great stress-reliever. It emphasizes the importance of clear, precise language.
How to run it
- 1.Pair everyone up and have them sit back-to-back.
- 2.Give one person a reference image and the other a blank piece of paper and a pen.
- 3.The person with the image must describe it using only shapes and directions (e.g., 'Draw a large circle, then a triangle inside it').
- 4.The drawer cannot ask any clarifying questions.
- 5.After 5 minutes, compare the drawing to the original image.
Pro Tips
- Choose reference images that are moderately complex but recognizable.
- Pair people up with colleagues they don't usually work with.
- Display the final drawings on a wall for everyone to enjoy.

One person describes an object, the other draws it without seeing — hilarious miscommunication guaranteed.
