B.8. Guess Who Said It

This exercise fosters greater acceptance, emotional generosity and thoughtfulness towards other members of the group. Member self-confidence and inter-personal communication are also enhanced.

The game is played in a circle.

B.8. Guess Who Said It

One person is chosen, or volunteers, to leave the room.
Three or four people make positive statements about him/her, trying to include specialized information that not everyone might know about the person.
When s/he returns, s/he stands in a circle, and the statements are repeated to her/him one at a time, while s/he tries to guess who said each one.
(The counselor/moderator should not select a hesitant person to leave the room first; the leader should emphasize only positive statements.)
