FACT OR FICTION
A game where members share 3 facts about themselves that might be unknown to the others in the group. The twist is that 2 of them will be true, and one false. When the member reads his facts, the rest of the group votes on which is false.
NAME THAT PERSON
Members divide into 2 teams. Each member writes down 5 true facts about themselves on an index card. When ckues on a card are read, the opposing team is scored on how many clues it takes to identify the person. 5 points if on the first clue, 4 on the 2nd clue, and so on. The team with the highest score wins.
TOILET PAPER TRIVIA
A simple game. Pass a roll of toilet paper around the group, and have each person take as much as they need. After the roll has made its rounds, have each member tell a fact about themselves for each square of the toilet paper they took.
