Mother-Daughter Know It All Game
We have great fun playing this game in the Young Women program in our ward on a night that all mothers were invited. It is played in the style of the old, sad, television game show, The Newlywed Game.
First all the moms leave the room to answer questions. The answers are written down on pieces of paper. Next the daughters leave the room and all the mothers answer questions on pieces of paper.
When the mother-daughter teams are reunited, the host asks the questions aloud and first the daughters try to guess how their mothers answered the questions, then the mothers try to guess how their daughters would answer the question. The key is that each person is trying to figure out how the other person would answer, not to simply say what they think is "right."
Questions for daughter:
- How will your mother complete this sentence? "If I got caught up in a case of mistaken identity, I probably would have been mistaken for ____________________."
