A cool get-to-know-you game where you don't just have to sit or stand still.
Can your group identify the other players without being identified themselves?
Material
- colored sheets
- Felt-tip pens
- Lists of names of the participants
- Safety pins or adhesive tape to attach the paper
- Whistle or similar, to signal the start and end of the game
- flashlights if necessary
Preparation
- Find a suitable area (forest, village) that offers plenty of hiding places.
- Mark out the playing field before the game begins (area: approx. 400 x 400 m).
- Create enough lists of names of the participants.
Implementation
- At least 2 groups of the same size are formed. Each group is given a color.
- Each group looks for a secret meeting point on the playing field.
- Each group member receives a piece of paper in the group color and writes their name on it in legible capital letters. The piece of paper is attached to the back.
- Each group receives a list of participants and 4 colored pencils (group colors). The list must remain in the secret meeting place and may not be taken away.
- All players move freely within the playing area. The aim is to find out who belongs to which group without being "identified".
- At the secret meeting point, the names of the participants are then marked with the corresponding colors.
- The first group to match all participants is the winner and ends the game with a loud signal (e.g. whistle).
Variations
The game can also be played at night with flashlights.
If the participants already know each other more or less by name, they can also just carry a sheet of paper in their group color (without a name) on their backs.
