Equipment / Materials Needed

• One chair for each person
• Blindfold (or ask the person to close their eyes)
• A space where everyone can sit in a circle

Setup Instructions

1. Set up the chairs in a circle.
2. Choose one person to be “It.”
3. Ask “It” to leave the room or cover their ears so they cannot hear.
4. While “It” is out, silently choose one person in the circle to be the “Mystery Voice.”
5. Bring “It” back and have them sit in the center of the circle.
6. Blindfold “It” or ask them to close their eyes.
7. Allow the people in the circle to exchange places.

Game Play Instructions

1. The Mystery Voice says a short phrase like “Hello” or “Guess who I am” in a disguised voice.
2. “It” listens carefully and makes a guess.
3. “It” gets three guesses to figure out who the Mystery Voice is.
4. If they guess right, they can switch places with the Mystery Voice.
5. If not, you can tell them who it was and let someone else have a turn.
6. Keep playing until everyone has had a turn being “It.”

Extra Tips and Variations

• The Mystery Voice can say a Bible verse or funny phrase in a silly voice.
• Try having two people speak together to make it harder.
• Remind everyone to speak kindly and not to make fun of others.
• Make sure the space is clear so no one trips while blindfolded.
• If someone is not comfortable being blindfolded, just have them close their eyes.
