Detective
The object of this game is to solve a criminal case created by the class. Two people who have not played detective before are appointed to be detectives. Ask them to leave the room while the class creates a case for them to solve. While the detectives are out of the room tell the class that no case needs to be prepared. Instead they are to listen carefully to the questions asked by the detectives. If the last word of a question ends with a vowel, a “y” or an “s” then the group answers, “yes” If it ends with anything else, the group answers “no”. The detectives then return to the room and are allowed to ask “yes or no” questions. The story is completed when you ask “are we done” in which case everyone else will reply “yes.”
Application
Inevitably the detectives will pursue an amazing story which they are creating. Many people are going through life asking questions and pursuing a false story while we know the truth. It is our job as Christians to proclaim the truth.
