Drawing tips for sports & hobbies
Draw the equipment and the shape of the field. A racquet plus a net is tennis; a racquet plus a wall is squash. Playground games are scenes: a circle of stick figures for duck duck goose.
Who this category suits
It is the category for sports families, camp counsellors and PE teachers. There are 97 easy words, 169 medium and 139 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. 9 of the words are grown-up references that only appear with the Adults audience; the rest are safe for everyone. A round idea: Olympics round: only events, and the drawer must also draw the podium.
The full sports & hobbies list
