Two people sitting either side of a dropped blanket facing one another, playing fun ice-breaker called Peek A Who

Peek A Who

A compelling name-this-person-quickly name-game.

  • Very playful & fun
  • Great name-reminder
  • Friendly competition
  • Simple prop

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Divide your group into two, roughly even teams.
  2. Drape a large screen or blanket between each team.
  3. Ask the members of each team to sit at least 2 metres (7′) back from the screen, in a position their opponents cannot see them from the other side.
  4. Invite one person from each team to move forward and sit directly in front of, and facing the screen.
  5. Explain that when the screen is dropped to the floor, the two people sitting closest to the screen are challenged to the name the other as quickly as possible.
  6. The first person to correctly name the other wins that person for their team – both people then gather with the winning team.
  7. Continue playing for several minutes and then try one or more variations.

    Although it says 10-15 minutes, at our kids’ camp it’s always at least a half hour – the kids can’t be torn away from playing. Thanks for the variations! We’ll try it with them in the summer.

      Your report does not surprise me, Tanya, thanks for sharing. FYI, the times we provide are simply advisory and will always vary based on the enthusiasm and energy of the group 🙂
