slips of paper for each youth to
have 10 pieces.

names of 10 people on the 10
pieces of paper. These names
must be famous personalities
(real or fictional) as well as

group, their parents and other
significant adults everyone
knows.

1. Put all the names back into
the container.

only use one word to
describe the person to
his/her group. Some of the
names will have already
been guessed so it is easier
then it seems.

score for each team
