T: WHERE DO YOU WORK?
I WORK AT INSTITUTO CIDADE JUNIOR
5 THINGS GAME

The players are going to write down 5 things most people probably don’t know about
them. For example: MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BLUE; I HAVE 3 SISTERS; I WANT
TO BE A DOCTOR; I LIKE TO READ BOOKS; I DON’T LIKE BREAD. Then, without
letting the others see, they’re going to change the papers. It starts by someone reading
the paper and trying to figure out whose paper this is.

WHO AM I?
It is a guessing game where you use the traits and
characteristics of famous, historical, or company
figures. Any sized group can play.
Prepare sticky nametags with the names of famous
people (or any other people that EVERYONE in the
group will know). For example, you can write:
SUPERMAN, IRON MAN, HARRY POTTER,

BATMAN, BRITNEY SPEARS, MICKEY MOUSE, etc.

Place one of the nametags on the forehead of each player. Once everyone has a
nametag on their forehead, explain the rules to everyone: each person must try to
figure out which famous person that they are, for example, a player can ask questions
like: “Am I an athlete?” “Am I a female?” “Am I a young person?” and so on. ONLY
questions that can be answered with “YES” or “NO”, it means that you CAN’T make up
questions like “Am I blond or brunette?”
