Games – Guess Who?

Items Needed

  • Paper (one sheet per Scout)
  • Pens or pencils
  • (Optional) Sheets of paper with questions written on them

Instructions

  1. (Optional) Write out fun questions on the large sheets of paper and stick them around the space. Examples might include: “What’s your favorite film?”, “What superpower do you wish you had?”, or “Where would you go if you could travel anywhere?”.
  2. As a group, Scouts select four questions and write them down.
  3. Individually, each Scout answers the questions on their own sheet of paper.
  4. Collect the completed sheets, shuffle them, and distribute them to random Scouts.
  5. Scouts read the answers and guess who wrote them.
  6. If their guess is correct, they link arms with the Scout they matched. If incorrect, they move on to another guess.

Variations

  • Airplane Answers: Scouts fold their completed answers into paper airplanes. Once all airplanes are ready, Scouts throw them across the room. Scouts then collect a random airplane, unfold it, read through the answers, and guess who the answers belong to.
  • Three Guesses: If they guess correctly, they link arms; if not, they try again with three guesses total.
