Truth or Dare is a fun party game for a group of five to ten kids of all ages. Whether you're in elementary school or college, this game is fun for everybody. Here are a few steps to teach you how to play the classic game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Get the players into a group, sitting on the floor or around a table.
Step2
Choose one player to start the game. This player asks "Truth or Dare?" of a second player in the circle.
Step3
Have the second player choose between answering a question and performing a dare.
Step4
Ask the question or present the dare. Ideally, both the questions and the dares should be mildly embarrasing, but not mean or dangerous. Remember, your turn to anwer or perform will come around soon.
Step5
Continue the game by having the person who last told the truth or did the dare ask "Truth or Dare?" of another player.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you don't want to answer the question or do the dare, you can appeal to the group who may vote to overturn it and make up a new challenge.
  • The dare can be silly - something like "Do an imitation of a Tarzan yell" - but not dangerous. It's up to the person asking the question.

You can use premade question lists based on your age and who you are playing with. You can also submit your questions so others can use them. There are question lists for teen G-rated slumber parties up to X-rated adult parties.
