1. Gather everyone together and tell them that you're playing a game called ‘20 questions’.

2. As a group, you could decide on a category, such as ‘places’, or you could make it harder by letting people choose anything.

3. Everyone should get into groups of between two and five people. If you’re playing this game at camp or any night away, you may wish to play in a larger group. Smaller groups work better at weekly meetings.

4. Each group should choose someone to go first. That person should think of something for people to guess within the chosen category.

5. Between them, each group should take turns to ask the person who chose the object a question, until 20 questions have been asked. Someone should keep track of the number of questions that have been asked.

6. Each question should have a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer. Everyone in the group should use the information to try and guess who or what the person's thinking of.

7. Each round lasts until 20 questions have been asked or the object is guessed.

8. If someone guesses correctly what the thing was, they can choose the next thing.

9. If no-one guesses correctly, the chooser can have another turn or choose someone else to go.
