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
Part II: Playing the Game!
each person, 1 min
have a story in mind
draw as much of that story as possible in 1 min
pass book 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
Part II: 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? !
Part II: 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.” !!!
