Whose Truth Was That?

"Whose Truth Was That?"

Time: 10–15 minutes
Group Size: 8–9 teens
Setting: Indoors, seated in a circle or around a table
Movement Level: Low
Laugh Level: High ☺️

🧾 Prep:

Hand out slips of paper and pens. Ask each teen to secretly write down an interesting, true, or surprising fact about themselves — something the others probably don’t know.

Examples:

• “I’ve never tasted Coke.”

• “I used to be afraid of butterflies.”

• “I can recite the alphabet backwards.”

• “I have 7 siblings.”

• “I once got stuck in a tree for an hour.”

Encourage weird, random, or fun facts — this makes it way more entertaining.

🎤 How to Play:

1. Collect all the papers in a bowl.

2. One person (the Reader) picks a slip and reads it out loud.

3. Everyone tries to guess who wrote it.

4. The person who wrote it can bluff or stay quiet until the vote is done.

5. After guessing, the truth-teller reveals themselves and maybe gives a short backstory if they want.

🤝 Optional Twist:

If someone guesses right, they get a point. Or you can keep it just for fun with no scoring.

🌟 Why It’s Awesome:

• Helps teens discover fun and unexpected things about each other

• Builds connection in a light, playful way

• Great for new groups or even groups that think they know each other well
