11th February 2010 by Shandri Brown

Works best for:

An indoors icebreaker for group of 10 or more.

Need:

Nothing, unless you want to give a prize to the winner.

The game:

Have everyone sit in a circle. Every player holds up all ten of their fingers. Everyone takes a turn announcing something they have never done eg. "Never have I ever been to Peru" or "Never have I ever picked my nose". For each statement everyone who has done what has just been mentioned must put one of their fingers down.

The goal is to stay in the game the longest (with fingers still held up) but every time someone says something that you have done, you drop a finger. It is a good idea to think of things that most people have done but you haven't so that you can say those and stay in the game. You will learn some interesting things about your friends and what they have done as you play.

Notes:

Leaders be careful to keep an ear out for what people are saying. This game should never be used to humiliate or shame anyone eg. "Never have I ever wet my pants in public", or "Never have I ever slept with my boyfriend". Most young people will show good sensitivity in this game but there is always a chance someone may want to use a game to get public revenge or hurt someone.
