LET'S PLAY:
GET READY: Gather a group of friends to play a game of metaphor-making. Sit together in a circle.
GET SET: On your own, think about someone (your Mystery Person) who is known to everyone in the circle. The person may or may not be sitting there with you. Don’t tell anyone who your Mystery Person is yet.
GO! The first player (Player A) uses a single sentence with a metaphor to describe something about her Mystery Person. The rest of the group tries to guess who A's Mystery Person is. They can ask Player A questions but her answers have to be "yes", "no" or "maybe" only. Player A's score is the number of questions asked before the group guesses her Mystery Person correctly. Every player takes a turn to present his sentence with the metaphor and answer questions until the group guesses who it is. The player with the lowest score wins.
THINK ABOUT IT. While playing the game, which metaphors were the best clues? What made those metaphors so helpful?
