How To Play Two Truths And A Tale
For this great get to know you game, each person must make three statements about themselves, one of which isn't true.
For example: I have two brothers, I was born in Australia, I have a motorcycle.
This works best when you give the group some time to think of their statements, and write them down if they need.
Once one person makes their statements, the rest of the group must guess, or vote on, which statement is the tale. You could play as a team, or individually. It could work well to get each group member to write down their own answers and see who gets the most correct.

Starting a young 13 to 18 year old youth. Needs more ideas to build relationships
When we played it the leader asked who wants to start? If nobody wanted to, the leader would start it. We learned about their likes and dislikes, how many is in their families, hobbies, etc. It opened good conversations that had not happened before. With a new group you need to suggest ideas for them and tell them to name something nobody knows about you.
I have liked the game and will be using it. thank you
Ii love this game !!!!!!! thanks
I used this game on a youth group and they liked it very much.
this is a great game! I used it in a small group meeting and it was an instant hit. I actually played this game with someone Im dating and we had many laughs. This game can be played with any group size.
wooow i love it! we have new guys at our youth group. wil try this tonight. thnx!!

I am going to tutor 7th graders this coming Saturday, 10/27/2012. I am trying to find which icebreaker would be useful....So I found this game....Let me try it out this Saturday and have post on it...

this one did not work good for my group of boys around 12 11yr old boys they got bored with it fast haha
i didnt try it, i have this idea for my group
ddnt try it yet, but i think its a great thing fo my group,we have new gals every week,cnt wait to try it out!
i have plaed this game meny of time i will always playet to get to now new people
Can you give me a detailed version for this game. If i were to leave it for someone to play, they would be able to relay it back to the children.
i am a child and youth care practitoner it was hard at first for me to get to know my youths at first, but after playing this game with them it was so awesome they all opened up because of this game. i think friends and family should play this game sometimes its really fun and you can communicate well with people around you that you dont know them that well and this game breaks the ice and it helps. GREAT GAME !
