Lie Detector- Mayim Version!

Campers will tell stories and a guesser will have to guess whether they are lying or not.

Recommended Location

Outdoor

Directions

Have campers wear clothing that they don't mind getting wet. Campers will be given time to think about stories, both true and false, that they would share with their bunk. Then when they are ready, they can sit in a circle outside on the grass. 1 person will be chosen as the guesser (they will walk away from the group to make sure they don't hear the others discussing who the story tellers are). 3 people in the group will be chosen as the story tellers (they will discuss between them and the rest of the bunk who will tell a fake story and who will tell the two true stories). When they are ready, the guesser can come back and the story tellers can begin telling their stories one at a time. The guesser will have one try to guess who told the made up story. If the guesser is correct, they get to dump a bucket of water on the "liar's" head. If the guesser is wrong, the "liar" gets to dump a bucket of water on the guessers head. Then the rounds continue and the roles as guesser and story teller rotate until everyone participates in a role they want.

Materials

Buckets with water

Helpful Tips

This could also be done with things other than water. For example, it can be done with paint and instead of dumping a bucket of water, it can be throwing paint at one's shirt.
