Truth and Lies Game
Lesson Objectives:
Students will learn things about each other (and the teacher)
they might not normally learn and have fun.
Grade Level and Subject Area:
K-12/All
Materials:
Index cards, creativity, and a sense of humor
Activities and Strategies:
- Pass out index cards.
- Instruct students to write
three statements about themselves. One must be a true statement. The other
two must be untrue. (The more outrageous all three statements are, the
better. Encourage students to think of odd information about themselves
that no one would be able to know if it were true or false.)
- Have either the student or a group leader read off the card. After all
three statements have been read, have the students vote on which statement
they believe to be true. Then have the student in question reveal the
truthful statement.
