This is a pretty simple game. Get all of the participants to sit in a circle, and one person stands in the middle. There should be enough chairs for everyone except the person in the middle. The person in the middle has to state something that they have never done, but that others in the circle probably would have done. Anyone who has done the thing has to switch chairs with someone else, and the person in the middle has to try and find a seat too. Whoever is left standing is now in the middle, and has to state something they haven’t done.

For example, David lived in the country, and never walked to school (he always took the school bus). So if he were in the centre, he might say, “I’ve never walked to school.” Anyone who had walked to school would have to get out of their seats, and sit down somewhere else, while David himself would try and get into one of the vacated seats.

There aren’t many rules for this game; the only ones we can think of are:

• You have to tell the truth; you can’t say you’ve never walked to school if you really have.
• If you leave your seat, you have to sit down in a different seat—you can’t go back to the same seat you were in. If you’re the only one who stands up, then by default you’re in the middle.
