Go around the table and take turns sharing two events that really happened that day and one that did not. Who can guess which one is false? Bonus: you will more than likely find out something about their day that they haven't told you!

What's in the Sock?

10 Things I Love About...

One person hides a "secret" object in a clean sock. They pass the sock around the the table and let everyone feel the object on the outside of the sock. Everyone guesses what is in the sock and whoever guesses correctly gets to hid a new object.
