Apparently rules of the games can vary with where one lives. As a child I liked playing something that was a mix between Spin the bottle and Truth and Dare. We spun a bottle and the one it pointed at picked truth or dare, and the one that had spun the bottle picked what the person had to do or tell us. We played it in elementary school.

In my daycare days I liked hide and seek.

I also liked kick the can and Tampen brenner when I was a little older.


I still love playing Who am I, and my mother and I play it a lot in between other things, take a couple of rounds while making dinner etc.
