Game Preparation
1. Cut several pieces of paper into
small pieces, large enough to
have a name written upon
them. You want to have enough
slips of paper for each youth to
have 10 pieces.
2. Each youth writes down the
names of 10 people on the 10
pieces of paper. These names
must be famous personalities
(real or fictional) as well as
names of those in the youth
group, their parents and other
significant adults everyone
knows.

Round Two
1. Put all the names back into
the container.
2. This round is similar to
Round One but a youth can
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.
3. Once again, calculate the
score for each team
