Guess who

Guess Who

This activity gets participants paying closer attention to each other — and reveals fun facts in a light, social way. It works well with small to medium groups and encourages both listening and interaction. Great for team-building sessions or opening a training day with laughter and curiosity.

What You’ll Need

  • Small slips of paper (or index cards)
  • Pens or markers
  • A bowl, basket, or container to collect the notes

How to Play

  1. Ask each participant to write a brief, true statement about themselves. Something light or unusual — but not obvious to everyone in the group.
  2. Examples include: “I once rode a camel in the desert” or “I hate chocolate.”
  3. Collect all the papers in a container.
  4. Read each one aloud, one at a time, and let the group try to guess who wrote it.
  5. Once a few guesses are made, the person who wrote it reveals themselves.

Example Statements

  • “I’ve never learned to ride a bike.”
  • “I collect old coins from different countries.”
  • “I used to be in a rock band.”

Trainer Tips

  • This works best with 6–20 participants. For larger groups, split into smaller teams.
  • Let people skip guessing or writing if they’re uncomfortable — keep it optional and light.
  • Remind participants to avoid anything too personal or sensitive.
  • Use it as an opener to get people relaxed, or as a transition after breaks to refocus the group.
