A daft dressing-up game where people find out what they have in common

Everybody needs a few items of clothing/costume nearby e.g. a red nose, some hats, a scarf and anything else, the funnier the better.

• Before the game starts, everyone must put on one of the items.

The teacher calls out a category beginning with “Anyone who…”, such as “Anyone who likes chocolate.” As soon as the category is called out, anyone who likes chocolate must take off their item of costume, grab one of the other items and put it on. The teacher decides who was the slowest to do the task. That person becomes the next caller. They have to think of a new category, for example ‘Anyone who… owns a pet.’

• If the caller can’t think of a new category, he or she can say “Wardrobe malfunction!”, at which point everybody has to change an item of clothing!

Director’s Tip

Usually ‘Anyone Who’ is played with the rule that the category called out must be true for the person who calls it. So if you call out ‘Anyone who has been to Berlin’ then you should’ve been to Berlin. It’s meant to be a game for getting to know people!

Suitable categories include:

Anyone who likes/doesn’t like… coffee/getting up late/cats/sports/spaghetti/spicy food
Anyone who is wearing… trousers/black shoes/a pullover/blue/earrings
Anyone who has been to… London/Disneyland/the Berlin Wall
Anyone who has… a pet/sister/garden
Anyone who owns… a musical instrument/teddy bear/mobile phone
Anyone who went… to the cinema last week/on holiday this year
Anyone who would like to… fly in a hot-air balloon/go bungee jumping
Anyone who has ever… told a lie/been on a date/kept a diary
Anyone who will… watch TV tonight/go shopping at the weekend
Anyone who is afraid of… spiders/crowds/horror movies
Anyone who is allergic to… cats/nuts/homework
