Please open the Digital Whiteboard. Open the "timer" icon and the "draw" icon. Click the penicil to start drawing and the eraser icon to erase.
(1) The person with the nearest birthday will start the pictionary game and become "the Artist"!
(2) The game begins with the Artist clicking the button above to obtain a topic. Feel free to keep clicking the button for new topics!
(3) After, the Artist will set their screen to the digital whiteboard and then share it with the group via zoom.
(4) The Artist will set the timer for 1 minute and begin drawing. The Artist cannot communicate any letters or words in oral or written form. Everything must be drawn to the best of their ability! While they're drawing, the rest of the group will try and guess the topic!
(5) Once a topic is correctly identified, the Guesser will earn a point and select a discussion question from the list below. If time has run out with no one correctly guessing the topic, the person with the most letters in their name (then the second most or third most) will select the discussion question.
(6) The group will then discuss the discussion question for at minimum 3 minutes with no maximum time set.
(7) Once the discussion concludes, the person who selected the discussion question will restart the pictionary game by becoming the Artist.
(8) Repeat steps 1–7!
(9) This activity will last 20 minutes! If y'all are feeling competative, the person with the most points at the end of 20 minutes wins!
