Group of people standing and running in a circle playing fun game called Have You Ever?

Have You Ever?

Hilarious, interactive, get-to-know-you circle game.

  • Very entertaining
  • Promotes communication
  • Fosters creativity
  • Engaging
  • Virtual options

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form a circle, with each person standing on a spot (or sitting in a chair.)
  2. Move yourself to stand in the centre of the circle (you are without a seat).
  3. Ask a question that starts with “HAVE YOU EVER…?” for example “… BEEN TO THAILAND?”
  4. Everyone in the circle who can answer ‘Yes’ to the question may choose to leave their spot, and attempt to fill a vacant spot elsewhere in the circle.
  5. Anyone leaving their spot cannot move into the spot of their immediate left or right neighbours.
  6. The person asking the question will also attempt to fill a spot as it becomes vacant.
  7. Once every vacant spot has been filled, the person without a spot will ask the next “HAVE YOU EVER…?” question.
  8. If someone cannot think of a question, or simply does not want to be in the centre, they may invite a volunteer to swap roles with them.
  9. Continue playing until the energy of your group starts to wane.
