Time Required: 15-30 minutes
Materials: One piece of paper and a pen/pencil for each team member
- Have every team member write down two things that are true about themselves and one lie. (Example: I have two dogs, my favorite class is math, and I love broccoli.) Make sure they do not reveal to anyone what they have written down.
- Allow 10-15 minutes for conversation (like a dinner party), where everyone mingles and discusses the three things they wrote down. Each team member wants to convince the others that their lie is actually true. They also want to discover other team members’ lies by asking questions. (Example: What are your dogs’ names? What breed are they? How long have you had them for?)
- Gather team members around a table, or in a circle, and have them each say their three statements. Have the rest of the team vote which one they think is the lie.
Even if your team members already know each other, this game can still be fun! Encourage them to put down things they don’t think anyone else on the team knows about them!
