Two truths and a lie is a simple team-building activity in which someone shares three “facts” about themselves. Two are truths and one is a lie. The others in the group try to guess which facts are the truths, and which is the lie.

Instructions
Explain to the group that this is designed to get to know each other and that they are also competing for points: the team with the most correct guesses wins. Team members are encouraged to help each other brainstorm ideas.
Arrange everyone in a circle, sitting on the floor with their groups. Distribute 3x5 cards. Give everyone 5 minutes to write three statements about themselves: two which are true and one which is false.
PG13 rules apply: they can write nothing overtly sexual, racist, or otherwise offensive or the entire team loses 5 points. Examples: I can speak two languages fluently; My favorite animal is the peacock; I have travelled to the Swiss Alps; I love cats; I play the tuba in the marching band.
Each person introduces themselves, then reads their card. Each team confers and then makes one guess. The team with the most correct guesses by the end of the game wins.
