Two Truths and a
Fib
When I used to
work as a residential counselor for kids one of my favorite mealtime games was
Two Truths and a Lie/Fib. So this month for our Non Prop game I decided to
include a write-up for this fun game from The Empty Bag book, by Chris Calvert
and Dick Hammond, and then tell you three short stories about myself. Two of
them will be the truth, and one will be a big ol' fib! First, the write-up,
Second, the Stories....... For each person that emails me the correct answer
will receive a little treat from Training Wheels, so you'd better play! (only
one entry per person! No fair emailing me three times with different answers!)
Type of Activity: Get to Know You
Props needed:
none
Playing the Game: Two Truths and a Fib (or Two)
(traditional party game). You just need some sitting around room. Works well
with 8 to 25 for 15 to 25 minutes.
Process: If you have a large group of players
you might want to make 2 groups. This involves a little creative story telling
that seems to work better with the older participants. But, donŐt let it stop
you. When your group is sitting around have someone share three (real) short
stories or statements about themselves. Two of these stories or statements must
be true, one is not. After the statements, go around to each player and find
out which statement they think is the fib. After everyone has made their vote the fibber can share the
fib. This is a fun way to get to
know each other a little better.
