Switch Sides if...

Last month I was looking for a getting to know you game that I could do with a large group of women for Relief Society.  After searching for something we could play I came up with my own game.  It is called:

It is a spin off of the "This or That" game. Here is how it works:

We started by having everyone stand on whatever side of the line they wanted.  Then I asked everyone to “switch sides if” the statement applied to them.  After some of the statements they were asked to tell someone next to them a little more about themselves. 

I wasn’t sure if the game would go well, but it ended up being a lot of fun and got everyone talking.  It was really neat to see who switched sides on some of the statements and who had the same things in common with each other and with you. 

Here are some of the statements:

You like to cook

You prefer summer more than winter

You have been on a mission… if you switched sides tell someone where

You have 4 or more kids

You prefer dogs more than cats

You were born in (the state you live)…if you didn’t switch sides tell someone where

You like to sew

You have any grandchildren… if you switched sides tell someone how many

You prefer spring more than fall

You have ridden a horse

You have lived in another state…if you switched sides tell someone where

You prefer pie more than cake 

You have 4 or more siblings

You have a pet… if you switched sides tell someone what pet you have and it’s name

You prefer morning more than night

You were named after someone…if you switched sides tell someone who

You like to sing

You have participated in a race (like a 5K or marathon)

You speak another language…if you switched sides tell someone what languages you speak

You prefer mountains more than beach

You prefer books more than movies

Play an instrument…if you switched sides tell someone what instrument you play

You like to play sports or have played on any teams

You prefer dark chocolate more than white Chocolate

You have traveled out of the country…if you switched sides tell someone where

You prefer washing dishes more than doing laundry

There are many other things you could add to this list to fit your "getting to know you" group.
