“Did You Hear About So & So?”

“Did You Hear About So & So?” (Icebreaker) is a great youth group mixer to get to know each other better!  Especially great this time of year!

SUPPLIES:

• A 60-second egg timer or multimedia countdown clock

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT SO & SO GAMEPLAY:

Quick explanation: Students will find a partner, and each person will have 60 seconds to tell the other person everything they can think of about themselves.  After 2 minutes is up, the pair will have to find another pair.  Each person has 60 seconds to share about their original partner when they find another pair. (not themselves)

• No preparation is needed

Playing:

• Have everyone find a partner
• Give the “quick explanation”
• Give everyone a minute or 2 to think about what they want to share
• On “Go!” the first person shares as much as they can with their partner in 60 seconds.
• Announce “Stop”
• Announce “Go!” again, and the second person shares as much as they can in 60 seconds.
• Announce “Stop”
• Have pairs find another pair.
• Repeat above, but this time people will have 60 seconds to share as much as they can remember about their original partner. Do this 4 times in all.
