2) Game #2
Chacun choisit une personne célèbre et écrit son nom sur un papier puis le colle sur le front de son voisin. Le but est de poser des questions avec OUI ou NON comme reponses possibles, et de decouvrir qui on est.
– Option 1
En cercle, chacun a son tour pose une question. Si la reponse a la question est OUI, ils peuvent continuer a poser des questions, si c’est NON, on passe au suivant.
– Option 2
Tout le monde se leve et pose une question a n’importe qui. Si la reponse est OUI, on peut continuer a poser des questions a la personne a qui on parle. Si c’est NON, on doit trouver une autre personne a qui poser des questions.
