Two Truths and a Lie

Two Truths and a Lie is the classic icebreaker game in which one attempts to identify which of the three statements is bogus.

Have everyone sit in a circle.  Each person prepares three statements about themselves, two of which are true and one which is a lie.  In any order, the person shares the three statements to the entire group.  The object of the game is to figure out which statement is a lie.  The rest of the group votes on each statement, and the person reveals which one is the lie.

Variation:  Two Truths and a Dream Wish.  An interesting variation to the classic Two Truths and a Lie icebreaker.  Instead of stating a lie, a person says something that is not true - yet something that they wish to be true.  For example, someone that has never been to Hawaii might say:  "I have visited Hawaii when I was young."  This interesting spin often leads to unexpected, fascinating results, as people often share touching wishes about their lives.
