I like to use this one when I practise the Present Perfect tense with my students.
It's the same as the game most of you used to play in childhood. First pre-teach the question "Have you ever...?" and explain, that with this question we ask about other people's life experiences.
Then give your students small pieces of paper and ask them to write a question with "Have you ever..?". Ask them to make their question interesting, but comfortable to answer (e.g. "Have you ever had lunch with the Queen of England?"). Then each student should fold the piece of paper so that the question can not be seen, and pass it to the neighbour on the left. And again pass it to the neighbour on the left. Then, without unfolding it, each student writes "Yes" or "No" on the paper which turned out in his\her hands. The questions and answers then are read aloud. It's usually a great fun and practice at the same time. The same game can be used for the pattern "Do you like...?"
