1. On one piece of paper write one half of a famous pair. ie. “Peanut Butter”  (see below for suggestions)
2. Write the other piece of paper, write the other half. ie. “Jelly”
3. Continue making pairs until you have enough so that each person can have one of the pieces of paper. ie. 10 pairs for 20 people.

At the gathering

1. Tape one of the pieces of paper to each person’s back. Don’t tell them who is written on it.
2. They must each ask the others yes or no questions to find out what is on their back . ie. “Am I a cartoon character?”
3. When they figure out who they are, they can ask that question. ie. “Am I peanut butter?”
4. Once a person knows who they are, they can find the other half of their pair and help them figure out who they are.
5. Once both members of the pair know their identity, they sit down together.
6. The game ends when everyone has found their partner.

Examples of Pairs

• Food Pairings: Pair up peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, or pancakes and syrup.
• Cartoon Characters: Such as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, or SpongeBob and Patrick. These pairs are fun and relatable, especially for younger participants.
• Comic Books: Batman and Robin, or Superman and Lois Lane are some ideas to get started.
• Disney Movies: Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Shrek and Fiona, or Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
• Historical Figures: Think of pairs like Lewis and Clark, or Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. These pairs can add an educational twist to the game.
• Biblical Pairs: Adam and Eve, Mary and Joseph, David and Goliath, Ruth and Naomi, Samson and Delilah, or Cain and Abel. Using these pairs can provide a spiritual reflection component to the game.
• Literary Characters: Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, Frodo and Sam, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, or Romeo and Juliet. These pairs cater to groups with interest in literature.
