Improving Communications Exercise

·         Back-to-back drawing – Divide your group into pairs, and have each pair sit on the floor back to back. Give one person in each pair a picture of a shape, and give the other person a pencil and pad of paper.
·         Ask the people holding the pictures to give verbal instructions to their partners on how to draw the shape – without actually telling the partners what the shape is. After they've finished, ask each pair to compare their original shape with the actual drawing, and consider the following questions:
·         How well did the first person describe the shape?
·         How well did the second person interpret the instructions?
·         Were there problems with both the sending and receiving parts of the communication process?
