How To Play the Never-Have-I-Ever Game?
Never have I ever is a classic drinking game for adults. It is a group game in which players take turns asking a set of questions about the things they have not done. The players who have done the thing respond by taking a drink and sharing a brief narrative of what happened.
You can customize this game in several ways to suit your child’s age group and set rules and frame questions accordingly. Here are some easy-to-follow steps for playing the game with young children.
- Ask the children to sit in a circle.
- Make some chits, and using a pen/pencil, write one question (that is unknown to children) in each chit, fold it, and keep it in a bowl.
- Give some candies to each player and direct them to eat a candy whenever their response to a question is, “Yes, I have done it.”
- Now, pick a player randomly and ask them to pick a chit and read the question aloud.
- The remaining players have to respond (if they have done the thing) and eat one candy. For instance, if the question is, “Never have I ever hidden in a car,” each player who had hidden in a car should respond saying, “I had hidden in a car,” eat a candy, and narrate the incident briefly.
- Never have I ever played in hiding the whole day.
- Continue until all the chits are over. The player with the least number of candies, in the end, loses the game, whereas the one who has the maximum number of candies wins!
You can also replace the candies with balloons and ask each player to burst a balloon whenever they respond in the affirmative.
