🙋 Find Someone Who...

What you need

Equipment: A printed sheet and a pen for each player. Print the sheet below, one copy and a pen per player. You need a space where kids can walk around freely.

How to play Find Someone Who...

1. The host reads the whole list aloud once so everyone understands it.
2. Explain the key rule: each name can appear on your sheet only twice, so you have to talk to lots of people.
3. On 'Go!', everyone gets up and walks around the room.
4. Meet someone, ask them about one line on the list, and if it is true for them, write down their name.
5. No writing a name without asking, and no writing your own name.
6. Play for 6 to 8 minutes.
7. The first player to fill the whole sheet shouts 'Capy!' and the host stops the game.
8. Go through the list aloud: the host reads a line, and whoever was named stands up and confirms it.

Scoring and wrapping up

Scoring: Each confirmed name = 1 point. A line only one person in the room matches = 3 points. A full sheet = 5 points.

To finish: Announce the winner, then do a quick closing round: each player shares the most surprising thing they found out about someone.

By age

• Ages 6-8: read the list together first and use simple lines, or let kids play in pairs.
• Ages 9+: add trickier lines that need a real conversation, like 'has a hobby nobody else here has'.

Variations

• Big group: split into two halves; each half plays in its own corner, then swap halves for a second round.
• Bingo version: print the lines in a 4x4 grid and the first to complete a row shouts 'Bingo!'
• Capy twist: add one mystery line, 'Find someone who knows Capy's favorite color', and let the host decide on a funny answer.

Tips for the adult in charge

• The 'two times maximum' rule is what makes this work. It pushes kids to talk to people they do not usually talk to.
• Stand back and listen in: you will learn a lot about the group.

Safety

Keep every line positive and avoid anything that could embarrass a child or single them out.
