One person will be the one that explains the object or picture that is shown to them ( member A ) and the other will be the one that will draw it, according to the description ( member B ). Step 2 - The members of each pair will be given the instruments for completing their assigned task. Member A will be instructed not to show the image they received to their partner. Member B will be instructed not to peek at their partner’s image. If one of the two rules mentioned above is broken, the team is instantly disqualified. Step 3 - After the timer is set, member A will begin to describe the object they’re seeing without revealing its actual name. Member B will attempt to understand what they’re being told, guess the object, and draw it on a piece of paper. Step 4 - When the time is up, the pair will showcase their results and see how the information has traveled from one player to the other. If member B has successfully drawn the right object, the team to which the pair belongs gains one point.

The child who catches the ball tries to explain how the organism on his or her card interacts with the tree. Allow anyone in the group, 5. Next, the child who caught the ball holds onto the string and tosses the ball to a third child. 6. The third child explains how the organism on his or her card interacts with the second child's organism. If the child gets stuck, anyone in the game can make a guess. 7. The game continues until everyone has had a turn at catching the twine The twine is now complex and tangled - everyone in the group is connected to everyone else. Players can also talk about how their organisms are connected to others that came up earlier in the game.	Index cards, Marker or Pen, Ball of twine	Choose one of the organisms in the game.
