This is a good game for a large group. Everyone has to guess the word that’s taped on their back, and then find their ‘matching word’ pair in the group.
How to do it
Write some word pairs (one word each on office paper, written quite big), enough for your entire group. Examples: salt/pepper, peaches/cream, cup/saucer, dead/alive, first/last.
Shuffle up the pieces of paper, and tape each piece of paper to each person’s back, so that everyone else can see their word, but they can’t. Everyone then has to walk around and ask closed questions (with a yes or no answer) to find out what their word is. Once they find out, they have to then find their pair by continuing to ask questions (these can be open or closed).
The game ends when everyone matches themselves up with someone else.
