Getting to know you Game
This is a good introductory game that I’ve used with my school behaviour groups in the opening weeks. I’ve also used it with various youth groups as a good way for everyone to get to know each other. I also turn it into a game to see who can remember each others answers at the end of the session.
Instructions
- Write the questions below on cards or you can make up your own.
- Place the cards face down. Explain how each card has a question on the reverse. Each person will have a turn to pick a card and answer a question.
- Answer each question as honestly as possible.
- If there is a question that any of the participants feel uncomfortable with, you can say “pass” and pass it onto the other person, who can also say “pass”.
- All answers can be discussed depending on how long you have for the meeting.
