Heads = One point if your partner says “Yes, I do” when you ask a question about their
likes
Tails = One point if your partner says “Yes, he does” or “Yes, she does” when you ask
them about other people’s likes (no points for “I don’t know”)

Like don’t like things in common coin games
Heads = One point if you can find something you both like
Tails = One point if you can find something you both don’t like

Heads = One point for something you like or don’t like and your partner feels the same
about (= the same feelings)
Tails = One point for something you like and your partner doesn’t or you don’t like and
your partner likes (= different feelings)

Like don’t like coin bluffing games
Heads = Make a true statement about something you like or don’t like
Tails = Make a false statement about something you like or don’t like (= a lie/ something
that isn’t true)
Your partner will then guess if what you said is true or not (perhaps after asking for more
details with questions like “Why don’t you like…?”)

Heads = Make a true or false statement about something you like

Heads = Make a true statement and then a false statement about things you like and/ or
dislike
Tails = Make a false statement and then a true statement about things you like/ and or
dislike
