Drawing Game

In this game, a player will draw an image on the board. Everyone else will try to guess what the image is. The images relate to the Tower of Babel and the Day of Pentecost Bible stories. After the image is guessed, we will briefly discuss how the person or object was included in the stories.

The game is played as a group, not as teams, and no points are scored. Have children come forward one at a time. Quietly whisper the item or person the child should draw. Give hints, especially to younger players, as necessary. Allow about 5 seconds for the child to think about the drawing, then start the timer for 30 seconds, adjusting the time as desired. The child must not speak while drawing. Other children should guess as the artist draws. For a fun challenge, especially for older children, blindfold the artist and see if children can guess the image.
