Back Drawing with Partner
In pairs, one student uses a finger to draw a shape, letter or number on a partner's back, and the partner has to guess it.
How to play
- Pairs sit one behind the other.
- The student behind slowly draws a figure on the partner's back with one finger.
- The student in front tries to guess what it is.
- After three tries, partners switch roles.
Rules
- Light touch only.
- Keep drawings simple and slow.
Variations
Easier
Large geometric shapes.
Standard
Letters and numbers.
Harder
Short words or a chain of drawings.
Adaptations
- Touch-sensitive students: draw on the palm of the hand instead.
- Limited mobility: no changes needed.
Learning goals
- Develop tactile perception.
- Promote calm and trust.
