Talking through Drawing

I love this idea! Especially on a day when the energy in the class in high and you want the children to focus again.

Rules-
Only communicate through the drawing.
No planning before- i.e. "we are going to draw ..."


You Will Need-
A piece of paper between each pair
A different colouring pencil in each pair

The children are placed in pairs. A piece of paper is placed between them.

The first child draws a shape. The next  adds another shape to it.

They continue to draw, one at a time- until the page is full.

It is beneficial to discuss the many types of lines before this lesson or as a warm up.

This is a great friendship building lesson as they must work together to create and be in tune with what the other child is trying to create.
