how to play telephone pictionary online
- everyone writes a silly sentence.
- your sentence gets passed on — someone else has to draw it.
- the next person sees only the drawing and describes what they think it is. repeat!
- each album goes round the whole group (or as many passes as the host picks). at the end, flip through every album together and see how wrong it all went.
quick tip: Specific action prompts ("a penguin proposing at the airport") create way funnier chains than plain nouns!
