  1. Introduction: In Drawful, each player receives a weird and unique prompt that they must try to draw on their mobile device (without the aid of an eraser). After each “artist” presents their work, everyone else anonymously submits a title that could fit this bizarre drawing. Your goal is to somehow find the correct prompt while fooling other players into selecting your decoy answer. Bonus points are awarded to those who submitted decoys that are especially clever or dumb… it’s usually the dumb ones.
  2. Steps:
  • Instal Drawful game and open it on screen. Invite participants inter to the game though Jackbox.tv
  • Learners enter their names and draw an avatar.
  • After entering the game each learner receive a word or sentence which he/she/them need to draw on their own mobile phone/tablet.
  • After submitting a picture it appears on screen and all other participants need to name it.
  • All titles appear on the screen and participants try to pick the original one.
  • Game gives awards for the best (or funniest) artists and writers.
  1. Reflection - encourage learners to reflect about how it was. Examples of questions:
