Work with a partner to design an algorithm: How to draw a picture given a set of instructions.

Rules of the game:
- Don’t let your partner see the drawing.
- Your partner will draw the same shape on his/her paper by following your “set of instructions”.
- Write down the instructions as you give them.
- You can not use direct words that describes the image.
- Once finished, both look at the drawings and compare them.
- If the drawings don’t match, go back to your instructions and change them until you are satisfied.
- You and your partner reverse roles with a different picture though.
- Do the instructions need to be revised?
