VIZIPHONE

use metaphorical and visual thinking to express complex and abstract ideas

non-verbal collaboration

power of images to tell a story !and relate complex ideas

Playing the Game!

each person, 1 min

have a story in mind

draw as much of that story as possible in 1 min

pass paper to next person

1 minute to “add” to the story

divide paper into 4 boxes

RULES:!!

no talking (this game must be entirely non-verbal until the end)

!!!!!!!!

you may draw in the next box of the storyboard or embellish the previous person’s drawing

try to avoid “drawing” words and phrases

last person who drew should share out loud with the group what they perceived the stories to be

first person should then share in what ways end result was similar or different than original intent

Debriefing Viziphone

What types of symbols and icons were useful in communicating specific abstract ideas?

What was challenging about this activity?

What was most fun and why? !

Debriefing Viziphone

!!

What surprised you about the way the stories developed with the imagery?

!Do you think your team was successful at

communicating an entire story with visuals only? Why or why not?

and use only our eyes.” !!!
