Tips and Strategies for Pictionary

Start with the big picture: Draw the overall shape before adding details
Use context clues: Draw related objects to help your team understand
Break it down: For compound words, draw each part separately
Use arrows and motion lines: Show movement and direction for actions
Think visually: For abstract concepts, use symbols and metaphors
Keep it simple: Stick figures and basic shapes often work better than detailed drawings
Use size and position: Make important elements larger and centered
