Who’s the liar! Liar Game

[Liar Game] See through the lies! Liar Game!
Who's the liar! Liar Game

It’s a fun team-based game of bluffing through conversation.

For example, you set up a situation where three people drink from cups, and only one of them gets a sour drink.

The person who drank the sour one reacts in a way to avoid being found out, while the opposing team guesses who it was based on their reactions and behavior.

Carefully observing reactions and words is key to the game.

There are various tricks you can try—like acting as if you’re lying on purpose—so experimenting with different tactics can be interesting.

You might even discover some surprising acting skills among the participants.

We still don’t know how long COVID-19’s rampage will continue.

Just when you think, “Has it settled down?” it surges again—what a troublesome disease.

So here are some games you can play while keeping social distance.

The first is the “Variety Bingo Game.” Instead of writing numbers in the bingo squares, you pick a theme—like foods or country names—and write whatever you like.

It’s sure to be more exciting than number bingo.

The second is the “Draw from Imagination Game.” You make illustrations of things you kind of know but not really—like a platypus or star fruit.

Even if you’re not good at drawing, no problem—the weirder your drawings get, the more fun it is!

This is a two-person game called the Plastic-Bag Carpet Race.

One person stands on a plastic bag placed on the floor.

The other person squats and holds both front corners of the bag.

At the start signal, the person on top jumps, and while they’re in the air, the person below pulls the bag forward.

The jumper must land back on the bag.

Turn it into a team relay to make it fun for a large group.

Telephone game

How about we all try playing the Telephone Game? It works with any number of people, whether a small group or a large one.

Starting from the first person, you whisper a sentence to the next person so others can’t hear.

Each person then whispers exactly what they heard to the next.

The last person performs what they were told in front of everyone.

Now, did the message make it to the last person correctly?
