Two Truths and One Lie

Two truths and one lie is similar to truth or dare game questions, and can help reveal things that other people may not know. To play, have everyone share three things about themselves. Each person will share two true things and one lie, and then the rest of the group guesses which one they think is the lie.

Self-Portraits

For the first part of the exercise, each person should draw a portrait of themselves anonymously. The leader of the game hangs the pictures on a wall while the others guess who they belong to. Each artist should explain why they portrayed themselves as they did to help others get to know them better.
