Sketch Artist Game
It's a teacher's worst nightmare; the early finisher. You need to give them something to do and you need something fast. Sketch Artist to the rescue! Everything you need for this game fits in a manila envelope, so it's easy to take it along to workshops. This game has never failed us and we've used it with children as young as 6 and as old as 18.
Sketch Artist Game Instructions
2-3 people play the game, one person is the "witness" and the others are the Sketch Artist(s). The witness has an envelope with a picture of a "suspect". Without revealing the picture the witness must describe the suspect in great detail. The sketch artist draws what the witness describes. Once the “witness” thinks the drawing is finished they show the photo and everyone sees if it is close. After that they can switch roles and get another envelope.
Something about the game allows the players not to get too hung up on how "good" their drawing is. Because let's face it, it's hard to draw someone from a verbal description. Everyone shares a little giggle when the picture of the suspect is revealed. The game teaches observational and verbal skills for the witness, listening and drawing skills for the sketch artist.
Modification for Remote Learning & Quarantine
Below you’ll find a video of how to play the game using video conferencing on your phone or computer. All players will need to print out the photos and instructions.
