Secret Identity

Relaxing games, Icebreaker games

Have everyone secretly write down the name of a person on a small piece of paper or a "post-it" note. It has to be a person that everyone in the room would know about - a famous historical figure, an actor or sports celebrity, a politician, etc. Then have them tape the name on the back of the person on their left.

Everyone goes around and asks people yes or no questions about who is on their back. They can only ask each person one question. The person who can do it in the least number of questions wins.

I have played this game when i was in middle school high school and in college and it never seemed too childish for me and the groups i was in.

This sounds like a great game and if it's too childish then I'm afraid that there it's being played with persons who are too mature. Any game can be fun once you know how to adapt it to your group. I'm pretty sure my youth group will love this.

I am a lance- corporal at a Boys Brigade and Girls Association and they loved this as did myself and my friends when we played it around a campfire and we are all late teens and early 20s it was a great success so thanks for the idea. And Kieran everyone has a child inside them and sometimes its good to just have fun, it isn't childish at all its just fun xx

Thanks!
