SETTING UPCut out the name tags below and tape one name to the back of each player. Players should not be told what it says on their name tag. You might need to photocopy this page if you have a larger group.

HOW TO PLAYThe object of the game is for players to try to fi gure out which book character they’ve been assigned by going around the room and talking to one another. Each player can ask Yes or No questions to fi gure out who they are. (For example, “Am I best friends with Greg?”) When a player discovers who they are, they can step out of the game. The goal is not to be the last person remaining.

SETTING UPCut out the slips of paper below, and hand three random slips to each person in the group. You may need to photocopy this sheet so that there are enough slips of paper for everyone.

HOW TO PLAYOnce the game begins, players have two minutes to swap their slips of paper with other players. Players should trade for slips of paper whose phrases most accurately refl ect their personality. Each slip of paper has an image of a Wimpy Kid character on it. Once the time runs out, players should count how many slips they have with each character on. The character that appears the most on the player’s slip is the character with whom they have the most in common!
