This game can be seen as educational from the following points:

  1. The challenge is to draw a picture of a specific topic. This helps to develop Artistic skills for the future.
  2. You are only given 60 seconds to draw your topic and for someone to guess it. This helps people to be able to work under pressure and work in a small time frame.
  3. As words to draw are repeated, it aids to the growth of our brains to connect what the picture is before the picture if finished from memory.
