1. Who's Telling the Truth?

Have each student write three facts about themselves that nobody in the class
knows on a piece of paper. Make sure each student includes his/her name on
the top of the paper. Collect the sheets of paper and bring three students to
the front of the room. Read aloud one of the facts that is true for one of the
students in the front of the room. The class then proceeds to question the
students in an attempt to determine who is telling the truth, and who is
lying. Each student is allowed to ask one question to one of the three
students. After a round of questioning, the students predict who is telling the
truth.

2. Taboo Variations

Variation #1: Create a PowerPoint presentation with each slide containing a


noun. Have one student come to the front of the room and sit with his/her
back to the PowerPoint. The students in the class should take turns describing
the words for the student in the front of the room to guess.

8. Desert Island Activity

Give each student a piece of paper and tell him or her to draw an item. Any
item. Tell the students that they have been stranded on a desert island, and
only half of the class can survive and continue to inhabit the desert island. The
student's goal is to convince the class that they should survive. The hard part
is that the only thing they have is an item that was drawn a few minutes earlier
by a classmate on the piece of paper.

9. Storytelling Activity

Bring four students to the front of the classroom. Three students should sit
down in a row, and one of the students should stand behind them acting as a
controller. The controller should have a stack of cards in his hand containing
nouns. The controller will hand a noun to one of the three students who will
start to tell a story. The student will continue telling the story until the controller
decides to hand another noun to another student who will then take over the
story.

10. Two Truths, One Lie

Each student should write three facts about themselves on a piece of


paper. Two of the facts should be the truth, and one should be a lie. Students
read aloud the facts, and give the other students a chance to question them
and decide which statement is a lie.

Who Wants a...?

Convincing

Tell students that you are going to give them a present. However, only one
student will receive the present. In order to receive this present, the student must
convince you through his / her fluency and imagination that he or she deserves
the present. It's best to use a wide range of imaginary presents as some students
will obviously be more attracted to certain types of presents than others.

A computer
A gift certificate for $200 at a fashionable store
A bottle of expensive wine
A new car
