The “Never have I ever” game is one of the classics when it comes to kids games. The rules are straightforward, and the game is fun for both younger and older children.
If you’ve never played this game, or if you’d like to find some new and interesting questions to ask your friends, you’re in luck!
We’re going to give you a quick run through the rules, and even give you some tips on how to make the game more fun by playing it in different ways.
And that’s not all. We’ll even give you a ton of questions you can use in your game. We’ll even divide them into categories so you can easily pick your favorites.
First of all, let’s start by explaining how to play the classic version of the “Never have I ever” game.
Basically, the only thing you need to do is find some friends or family members to play with, and write down some fun questions. Then, one person asks everyone one of the questions on the list. The first person to say that they have done that gets to ask the next question.
The best part of this game is that most of the questions are followed by an interesting story!
If you want to keep it simple, then all you need to do is go through all the questions and listen to some fun stories. However, if you’d like to make the game more interesting, you’ll be happy to know that there are several different ways to play the kids "Never have I ever" game.
Playing with candy
If you don’t have any candy available, you can still have fun! Instead of choosing the winner by counting the candy, you can simply use your fingers.
If you want to up the game, then you should cut up some onions and bring in the broccoli! Why not challenge the players to eat some gross food when they answer a “Never have I ever” question with “I have”?
Broccoli and onions will do just fine, and you can add other gross foods in the mix.
In the summertime, fill up some water balloons and go crazy! The rules are simple; each person takes turn asking “Never have I ever” questions and anyone that answers with “I have” will get a balloon thrown at them!
In this version, everyone is a winner! The water balloon “Never have I ever” is a great way to cool off in the summer.
