3. Tape one strip on each player’s back, making sure they don’t see the name of their character. Once all the children have names on their backs, have the players mingle in the room.
4. Players should look at the names on each other’s backs and then answer questions for one another about their characters.
A player can ask for clues that might lead to their character’s identity, but they cannot provide the information to another player without being asked.
For example, a player with the name Shrek on his back might ask, "Am I a character from a movie or a book? Am I a nice character or am I mean?" Other players should answer the questions, but they can’t just walk up to the player with the name Shrek on his back and say, "You’re green. You’re a cartoon character from a movie. Your sidekick is a donkey."
5. As players figure out their own identities, they must then find their mate. So, continuing with that example, Shrek would find Fiona and the two would stop mingling and raise their hands to indicate that they’re done.
