Instructions

Gear Up

Grab your mini-whiteboard and a dry-erase marker. Make sure you have a little elbow room, as your "canvas" is moving to a higher altitude.

The "Head-Base" Position

Balance your whiteboard flat on top of your head. Use one hand to steady the board and the other to hold your marker. Strictly no peeking!

The Prompt

Listen closely as your teacher announces the target sketch. As soon as the word is out, start drawing directly onto the board above your noggin. Here are some ideas:

🐾 Animal Kingdom

Level 1: A snake (easy curves)
Level 2: A cat with whiskers and a tail
Level 3: An elephant with a trunk and big ears

🏠 Home & City

Level 1: A simple house with a chimney
Level 2: A car with two wheels
Level 3: A skyscraper with windows and a cloud

🍎 Food & Drink

Level 1: A slice of pizza (triangle)
Level 2: An ice cream cone with two scoops
Level 3: A burger with seeds on the bun

🚀 Space & Nature

Level 1: A crescent moon and a star
Level 2: A flower with petals and a stem
Level 3: An astronaut in a round helmet

🏫 School Life

Level 1: A pencil
Level 2: An open book
Level 3: A school bus (rectangle with wheels)

The Big Reveal

Once the "markers down" command is given, carefully bring your board down to eye level. Compare your "blind" creation with your neighbours and see who actually managed to put the tail on the cat!
