    How to play with fingers

    1. Everyone holds up ten fingers.
    2. Spin, and read the prompt aloud starting with “Never have I ever…”.
    3. Anyone who has done it puts one finger down, and may tell the story in a sentence or two.
    4. The last player with fingers still up wins. With six players, expect about 15–20 spins.

    Other ways to score

    • Stand up, sit down: everyone who has done it stands. Good for classrooms and for anyone who finds counting fingers fiddly.
    • Step forward: players start in a line along one wall and step forward when a prompt applies. The first to reach the far wall has had the most adventures.
    • Guess first: before anyone answers, the spinner guesses how many people will put a finger down. An exact guess wins a point.

    Keep it comfortable

    A few prompts touch on things that cost money, like flying or visiting another country. In a group where that could make a child feel left out, delete those lines first and add ordinary ones everyone can share: “Forgotten my shoes”, “Laughed at the wrong moment”.

    Nobody has to tell the story behind a finger. Putting the finger down is enough, and asking “why?” is up to the player who answered.

    Questions and answers

    Is there a version without drinking?

    This is it. The game began as a party game for adults, but the format works just as well with fingers or standing up, and every prompt here is something a nine-year-old could have done.

    What ages can play?

    From about 7. Younger kids tend to put a finger down for everything, which is funny but makes the scoring meaningless, so play without scoring for them.

    How do I write my own prompts?

    Pick something some people have done and others have not, that nobody would be ashamed of. Type it into the list without “Never have I ever”, because the title on the wheel already says it.
