equipment:

  • True / False signs with true on one side and false on the other. Signs to be child safe, no sharp corners or edges.

  • Scoreboard and pen

  • Team markers

How to play:

Each team will need to be supervised by a competent adult / youth leader. Make sure children are well spaced so that they can’t hit another child when holding their sign up.

The teams line up behind their markers. Place the true or false signs on chairs opposite each team a few metres away.
Ask the team leaders to number their teams - 1,2,3,4,5… front to back (if one of the teams are down on a player compared with others, someone will need two numbers so that they can go twice to cover the shortage of a player).
To start the game the person running it calls out a true or false statement followed immediately by a team player number. The team players of that number go to the front, pick up the sign and hold it up displaying the side (true/false) that they consider is the correct answer. First team displaying the correct answer wins the point. The number called should be random and not consecutive. The random call adds to the fun and keeps the teams on their toes as the players await the call of their number.
