In this activity, your students will be able to ask genuine questions and answer them while trying to find out information about each other.
Pre-Teach: Asking Questions· Ask students to create 3 sentences about themselves (2 true sentences and 1 false sentence) · Teacher demonstrates an example with his/her 3 ‘facts’ · Students ask questions to figure out the false fact (review correct question form here) Prep Activity· Students create their 3 sentences about themselves · Walk around the room helping students create correct sentences Activity (15-20 minutes)· Students come up, one at a time, to the front and share their facts and take questions ( · Break larger classes up into more manageable groups (of 5-10) and do the activity. Pro Tips:· Do an example from your life first. · Set a timer or a set number of questions for each person's turn. (around 4-6 min each) · Don't drag it out too long; the students will start to get restless. - Remind the students to continue lying when their classmates ask them about the false facts. Easter Egg LessonsThinking on the spot - Being able to think off the top of your head will help their creativity. Building a community - Students often learn something new about their classmates and friends. Lie Spotting - They will constantly be looking for clues to find the lie. What else can you find?
