Two Truths and a Lie

An oldie get acquainted game: “Two truths and a lie”

• I a small group this can be done altogether which is ideal, but in a larger group this needs to be done in groups of 4-5
  
• The participants are given three common questions. I use: What is your favorite TV show; your favorite music group or singer; your favorite sport
  
• Each person thinks of their answers, but one of the three is to not be true.
  
• Encourage them to have all three answers ready before you start (“Simpsons, Selena and … uh.... croquet” is not hard to guess).
  
• Going around the group, each gives their 3 answers and the rest of the group has to decide which is not true.
  
•  The game can be extended in a larger group by having one member of the small group introduce one of the others to the larger group and tell one of the true facts about them. Continue until the entire group has been introduced. 
•  The game can be theologized by adding a discussion of times in our lives when we hide the truth from others, etc
