How To Start Truth Or Dare?
First, all participants must form a circle. One person spins the bottle. The person who has the bottle’s mouth pointing towards them can choose to answer the question truthfully or by taking a dare to complete a task. The ‘Truth’ or the ‘Dare’ will be asked and assigned by the person rotating the bottle, and the opportunity to rotate the bottle will proceed clockwise according to the seating arrangement.
Rules:
- If you select truth, you have to be honest.
- If you do not like the question, you can ask to change the question. You cannot avoid the second question and will have to answer it.
- If you lie, you have to bear the punishment that is pre-decided.
- If you select ‘dare’ and cannot complete the task, you will be punished, which is predetermined.
- The consequence for lying or not daring to do a task should be predetermined. Make sure that the consequence is neither difficult nor easy.
Now that the rules are set, and you have understood the game, let’s play.

Dzovig Kassabian, a grade 10 teacher and author of Dzovig Kassabian’s Blog talks about his experience conducting an open class for his students by playing a game of Truth or Dare, He says, “When the sky was bluer than blue and the sun was shining at its brightest, we, grade 10 class, headed to the nearby park to enjoy the well-known game, Truth or Dare. Together, we had brainstormed and prepared some of the questions and commands on the game, then I continued to pile 16 by 16 cards with the help of my daughter. To see who is a daring teller, who a daring doer! It was so much fun playing a game that had the element of chance which kept them excited, and the chande to open up and share points of view, being more transparent to each other how. It was a great way to get to know each other better (i).”
