To kick start new group spirit we had a go at a drawing and communication exercise. The idea behind the exercise is to demonstrate how important clear and concise communication is to completing, well anything really!
Participants sit back to back with one facing a table. The participant at the table (A) get's a sheet of paper and a pen/pencil, the other participant (B) get's a sheet of images. B's task is to pick an appropriate image and then describe the image to A so that A can draw the image as accurately as possible. A's task is to draw from B's instructions, listening and following directions carefully.

After participants have completed the activity, review the results before switching places and having another go!
We found that second time around, the task was much more successful as the communication was better and also as we had been in the other participants place so we had an empathetic reaction, making us complete the task to a higher standard.
Great fun!
