Set Up Your Pairs

Arrange participants in pairs, sitting back-to-back. One person becomes the 'describer' who can see the image, while the other becomes the 'drawer' who will recreate it based solely on verbal instructions.

Start Drawing and Communicating

The describer explains the image without revealing what it is, while the drawer listens carefully and sketches. After the time limit, compare drawings and switch roles for maximum fun and learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What is a back-to-back drawing activity?

A back-to-back drawing activity is a team-building exercise where participants sit back-to-back and one person describes an image for the other to draw. This activity enhances communication and listening skills.

What materials do I need for these activities?

You will need paper, pencils or markers, and a set of images or prompts for the drawing activities. For some games, you may also need blindfolds or other materials to add a fun challenge.

How can back-to-back drawing activities benefit my team?

These activities improve communication, listening, and collaboration skills. They are also a fun way to break the ice and build stronger relationships within the team.

What difficulty levels are available?

Our prompts range from beginner (simple shapes and objects) to intermediate (everyday scenes) to advanced (complex illustrations with multiple elements). Each prompt is clearly labeled so you can choose the right challenge level.

How many people can participate?

Back-to-back drawing works with any even number of participants, from just 2 people to large groups of 50 or more. Pairs work independently, so you can easily scale the activity to your group size.

Can these activities work virtually?

Yes! Virtual back-to-back drawing works great over video calls. Share your screen to show the image to describers while drawers look away, or send images privately through chat. Digital drawing tools or paper both work well.
