RulesHow to play
flip, answer, tell the story, ask questions
- Take turns. Flip the card and read the whole sentence aloud: “Never have I ever…”
- If you have done it, say “Yes, I have!” and tell the full story. The steps on the left help you build it.
- If you haven’t, say “No, I haven’t” plus one sentence with a starter on the right. Then move on to the next card.
- After every story, each listener asks at least one follow-up question.
- The cards are shuffled every time you open the page. Press Shuffle to mix them again.

Example: Never have I ever… forgotten my password three times in one day.

- One minute. The story must last at least 60 seconds. Use the steps to keep going.
- Retell it. After the story, a partner retells it in three sentences, using reported speech: She said that she had…
- Points. One point for every story, one point for every good follow-up question.
Speaking game
Every “yes” is a story
The best stories are the ones you didn’t plan to tell. Ask questions, react, and keep the conversation going.
