    Drawing tips for people & jobs

    A person is a stick figure plus a prop or a hat: a stethoscope makes a doctor, a badge makes a police officer, a crown makes a king. For personality types (couch potato, party pooper), draw the scene, not the person.

    Who this category suits

    It is great for careers day at school and for parties where everyone knows the same characters. There are 125 easy words, 146 medium and 125 hard, so it works as a whole-game theme rather than a single round: set the difficulty from the menu above and the pool moves with the table. 33 of the words are grown-up references that only appear with the Adults audience; the rest are safe for everyone. A round idea: Job interview round: the drawer may draw only what the person holds, never the person.
