GAMES
TRUTH AND LIE
o GIVE EACH TEAM MEMBER FOUR IDENTICAL SLIPD OF PAPER.
INSTRUCT THEM TO WRITE DOWN THREE TRUTHS AND ONE LIE.
THE LIE SHOULD BE BELIEVABLE TO SOME EXTENT, AND THE
TENOR OF THE TRUTHS AND LIE SHOULD NOT BE OFFENSIVE OR
CRUDE.GO AROUND THE DROUP, ONE AT A TIME, AND HAVE THEM
READ THE TRUTHS AND LIE IN RANDOM ORDER. WHEN THEY ARE
FINISHED, THE TEAM SHOULD DISCUSS WHICH THEY THINK ARE
THE TRUTHS AND WHICH ARE THE LIES.

OTHER” CATEGORY.
