Say Something Nice Christian Game

Halloween Tract

How to Play

Have everyone sit in a circle.

The leader passes the object to the person next to him/her and says something nice about the person. Examples:
– “You are very helpful” (or kind, friendly, sincere…)

If the group is unfamiliar with one another, they can say general things like
– “I like your smile” (or hairstyle, or color of shirt…)

The object gets passed from person to person, with everyone saying something nice to his/her neighbour.

The game ends when the object returns to the leader.
