How to play never have I ever

Basic rules

Everyone holds up ten fingers. A player reads a "never have I ever" statement. Anyone who has done it puts one finger down. The last player with fingers up wins.

Keep it clean

Agree before you start that prompts stay friendly: no drinking, no dating questions for kids, and nothing that singles out one person.

Ask for the story

When someone puts a finger down, give them ten seconds to tell what happened. That is usually the best part.

Make your own

After a few rounds, let each player write one prompt about something they have never done. The others guess who wrote it.

Play it in class

Use the classroom list as a getting-to-know-you activity: students stand up instead of lowering fingers, which gets everyone moving.
