This document proposes creating a new game to teach handwriting analysis. The game would use cardboard cut into cards with handwriting strokes on one side and personality traits they represent on the other. Players on teams take turns acting out traits for others to guess while learning the stroke-trait connections. The goal is to create an entertaining way to memorize this information through visual associations between physical actions and written symbols.

1. Assignment-
Connect and Combine

2. Did you know that-
Your
handwriting is
“NOT” your
handwriting!

3. Your handwriting is “NOT” your handwriting!
Did you find this
statement bizarre ?

4. Don’t worry yet- let me take you on a short journey
During the Vietnam War, many
paraplegics who lost both of their
hands and arms learned to write by
using a pen in their mouths. After a lot
of practice, their handwriting closely
resembled their original one. It clearly
shows that handwriting is driven by
brain and since hands are the natural
vehicles to write something, it is called
as “Handwriting”. Whereas a more apt
name would be “Brainwriting”.

5. The science of Handwriting Analysis
The scientific method of
identifying, evaluating, and
understanding a person’s
personality via the strokes and
patterns revealed by his or her
handwriting is called as Graphology
or Handwriting Analysis as we
simply know it.

6. Ever wondered or
wished that you
could learn the
science of
Handwriting
Analysis in a fun
manner ?

7. Please wait…
Why am I mentioning
this here ?
Wasn’t this supposed
to be an assignment
about creation of a
brand new Sport from
two household items ?

8. Of course, Yes…
….and You are not at a
wrong place!
Let me explain…

9. And the theme of this Sport is…
Here we prepare a
one-of-its kind
game that can
enable you to learn
an
absolutely new skill
of Handwriting
Analysis in an easy
to remember
manner.

10. And the theme of our Sport is…
Here we prepare a
one-of-its kind game
that can enable you
to learn an
absolutely new skill
of Handwriting
Analysis in an easy
to remember
manner.

11. The household items of my choice are…
1. Card board
2. Scissors

12. The household items of my choice are…

13. What do I do with these items ?
Using
scissors, Cut
the Cardboard
box into equal
sized small
cards
approximately
of size of
playing cards.

14. How will these cards help here ?
At its core, Handwriting
Analysis is about
understanding the strokes
that forms the
handwriting. So on each
card we will mention a
stroke formation (taking
simply a letter) and on the
other side, we will mention
which personality trait do
that stroke represent.

15. One more example of how cards will look…

16. Prepare atleast 30-
40 such cards
(Handwriting
Analysis can help
determine 100+
basic personality
traits and if we
combine them
together we will
have innumerable
traits).

17. Simple Rules of the Game
• 2 or more teams of atleast 2 people each.
• At a time each team picks-up just one card.
• First team shows the backside of the card they picked up and
ask one person from the second team to act (like dumb
charades) the listed personality trait without saying
anything or lip syncing.
• Other team members of the team needs to guess the
personality trait being acted upon.
• The team which guesses in less time wins the round.
• At the end of the acting session (or a round), both the teams
study the listed handwriting stroke (front side of the card)for
the personality trait just acted and learn.
• Since, the trait was physically acted and guessed, it would
help people form strong associations with the listed stroke
and hence people will remember the same for a long time.
• These rounds can continue until the cards are exhausted.

18. Some characteristics of the Game
This is a game that has-
- Sense of Anticipation
and surprise moments
i.e. There will be enough
funny moments when
someone is acting the
traits.
- Learning moments i.e.
when people playing
share notes and commit
the traits and
corresponding
handwriting strokes to
memory.
