A step-by-step guide to play the game

Write a label for each participant with the name of a piece of waste.

Stick a label on the forehead of each player. They are not allowed to see what is on the label.

The players will soon be able to mix and ask each other yes / no questions. In this way they try to find out as quickly as possible with whom they can go in the same bin.

If a player has found someone who is allowed in the same waste container, he will stay with that player. In this way, groups of different waste containers are gradually forming.

This game allows you to address the topic of recycling in a fun way. You could use this as a starting point to play more recycling related games in teams. The participants that are in the same bin at the end of this game could form a team, which then competes against the other 'bins' throughout all the games (e.g.: create a piece of art using things that can be found in your bin). May the best bin win =)!
