Have and don’t have drawing coin game

Secretly choose one of the lines in the table below and flip a coin. The coin decides if you should draw a positive sentence (heads) or if you should draw a negative sentence (tails). Draw that thing (e.g. a man with no eyes) until your partner guesses what the whole sentence is. If they can’t guess, give hints such as:

  • Circle the important part(s) of your picture
  • Draw the other version of the sentence (e.g. the positive one if you drew the negative one), then circle your original drawing and/ or draw a cross through the opposite picture
  • Say and/ or write key words from the sentence
  • Let your partner look at the table below to help them guess which of those things you drew
