What is the Back-to-Back Drawing Activity worksheet?
The back to back drawing pictures pdf sets up a paired communication exercise. One partner takes an image from the sheet and describes it in words only, while the other draws from that description alone. Neither can see the other’s paper, so every gap in the instructions shows up on the page.
How to use the Back-to-Back Drawing Activity worksheet
Run this one in session, in pairs sitting back to back. Give the listener a blank sheet and a pen, and give the speaker one of the three images. The speaker describes shapes and lines rather than naming the object, so “draw a house” is not allowed. Your clients can ask clarifying questions throughout, which is the point of the exercise rather than a concession. Afterwards each partner answers their own Listener Questions or Speaker Questions on the last page.
