A sentence or poem, or paragraph. Pass.<br \/>&#8211; (looking at just words) interpret words into a drawing)<\/p>\n<p>This is a great exercise for those who are uncomfortable drawing, or writing. Best with 4 or 5 people. Even better when highly caffeinated or slightly inebriated.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now lets look at two of the final stories.
