Players tell two truths and one lie. The object of the game is for the other players to guess which statement is the false one.

​

Step #1

Have your players sit in a circle. They can sit on chairs on the floor or ground. You will want to begin by having the players introduce themselves.

 

Step #2

Explain the game to make sure everyone understands how to play. Make sure they understand by demonstrating yourself presenting two truths and a lie to the group. A good choice might be:

• I have four children.

• I won a beauty contest once.

• I have been to China.

Allow the group to guess which statement is a lie.

 

Step #3

Next, tell your players to think of two true statements, and one that is false, about themselves.

 

Step #4

Go around the circle, having each player share their three statements.

 

Step #5

The players vote on which one they believe is the lie and at the end of each round, the person who stated the three truths and one lie, tells which statement is the lie.

​

One way to decide who goes first is to randomly choose one person. Then, if only one person guesses the lie correctly, that person goes next. Alternatively, the person sitting closest to the last person goes next. You can go around the circle as many times as you wish, giving everyone a chance to go at least once.
